I beat this thing to death and it held up pretty well. I pounded a serrated sheet of metal to shape it (bad for a hammer) and that left some nasty gouges on the hammer's surface. That's not the hammer's fault though, it was misuse of the tool and I knew it. It does the trick and I'll probably get another heavier one.
Nice build and color that's not easy to mix and match when working in the garage. This is one of my husband's treasured Revain purchases. He calls it his BFH and tells our friends about it and how it can be used. He's talking about the second one who will stay with our tent so he has a special BFH to tack in the tent pegs.
I love looking at things like hammers. yes, it's a hammer, yes, it hits things. He hits things pretty hard. But seriously, it's not falling apart, the face hasn't chipped off or anything. This can be a problem with rubber and plastic coated hammers. The handle is rigid with no perceptible flexing. Two pounds is a good size for things like fitting stuck parts in or knocking out a stuck part.
Imagine a little (well, not really) old woman with this hammer :-D. I bought it just in case I needed it when building an extra large Lifetime deck. Glad I did because it was easier to slide all the panels into their locked position. No damage to plates or hammer. I plan to use it while I take apart the spinning wheels for polishing. Great price, great product, 5 stars for the seller!
I used this hammer to remove rusted bolts on the stabilizer link. While heating the bolts and letting them cool, I tapped the entire area with a neon mallet, trying to loosen the rust holding the bolt and nut in place. It did a satisfactory job as you don't have to worry about causing any damage. Also used to loosen the rotors. It looks like it's covered in sand.
