Buying a Hammer.

This hammer serves me well but on buying it new,I had to check through a fair number before I found one that had the hammers face in line with the handle,this is important,if the face is not in line you will just bend nails and frustrate your self. Remember to clean the hammers face with course sand paper from time to time as well,as any dirt or paint build up will just allow the nail to slide and bend.

This small type hammer was made in South Africa,I have more than one and they work well with a good balance and a hard face to knock nails in with.As ever they are made to a standard that has to meet quality but not at any price,so check what you are buying when you do.
