"Attention Paul-Mart shoppers ..." >and I wooda like to seen him get down there and saw it with his razor-sharp dickhead. < This made me actually LOL. In a sustained manner. XLNT About hammers. I used to have a nice one, and then it evaporated in the course of a move. I need another. We have a nondescript wood-handled nail assailer in the sixteen-ounce range, and I bought myself this cuuuute eight-ounce ball-peen jobbie for my tool bag. But I read this cheezy home carpentry paperback and the author waxed eloquent about the superiority of a forged hammer. Now I see the Estwing hammers hanging out on the pegboard at the MegaLoMart tool corral, but they don't carry a tag that tootles "Forged!" Are those things single castings? They have a hammer called a California Framer. (shades of the Menendez brothers...) But it is all knurly on the whacking end - like a meat tenderizer. My thumb KNOWS trouble when it sees it. Since I like to drive brads - I wonder what good that five-lines-per-inch deep spiky checkering is good for. If it were a putter, the short strokes would go all over the fricken peachfuzz Bermuda arounfd the hole flag thingie. I need a new hammer this Christmas. Eighteen ounces, give or take. No S&M spikies please.
