Dead On DOS22S 22oz 18" Steel Smooth Face Hammer, Silver

Excelente aquisição!!! Recomendo!!

Balanced, light weight feel. Long handled so there is lots of drive power. Also have a rough face verison of this hammer but there are time when I don't want the face marks to show, so I brought the smooth face for those times. Only shortcoming I have found is you cannot pull on a nail sideway (carpenter's trick) because it will bend the handle. Excellent parallel strength but weak laterial strength. Great hammer just need to know this one limitation.

Hammer looks the part but that is as far as it goes after the frist days use the rivet on the handle broke and the handle started slipping off. I had to put a nail in the rivet hole to prevent the handle slipping off. Then after 3 hrs on the second day the head of the hammer actually broke clean off .

If you really want to use this hammer you'd better weld in the spaces around the head as they appear to break off otherwise, see the other reviews. The handle is made of 2 pieces of rubber and does not fit well. I have put a rubber band around it to keep it together. This hammer is a gimmick and not a real hard use tool like a stanley hammer.

Surface grinding badly out of square on head. Nail hook is very blunt also having incomplete surface grinding. I don't mind the rough casting as it gives some character but functionality is first.
