MintCraft 33701 Hammer 2 Pound Handle Review

I need it. I'll need to rework the face a bit and cross the Payne a bit, but I expect the new hammer to have a good grip and feel good in the hand.

This hammer is amazing and the fact that the hammer is thicker than most hammers makes it even more affordable. Trust me when I say this. I'm a blacksmith in the backyard. lot of time swinging that hammer.

Luckily I just brought the angle grinder to my face to smooth it out, but others who don't have a…

I've been using this hammer for about 2 months now. The pointed end has a large radius, but this can be quite normal. The face came with a pattern of concentric circles and sharp edges around the face. It leaves unsightly marks on your work. Now that I've worn the hammer a lot, those marks are mostly gone.
