Supplied with loose head. As a temporary solution, I fixed it with a "toothpick wedge". The head has a groove to indicate metal, but it's interesting as a texture hammer. The side of the chisel or cross cut is a bit uneven, but then again, if I need a hammer for texturing, that might be ok. This is a fairly thin hammer, only 2 ounces. I paid $9 - I got what I paid for.
