To those who dont want to read my whole review
Buy this hammer.
Actually, when I ordered this hammer, I was replacing some other old tools that were quite wore out. I figured, hey, I don't want to chunk out $55 for an Estwing rock hammer right now, so I'll take a shot at this. If it can hold me for a few months, I'll do better then.
This hammer arrived, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The hammer and handle are one single forged piece. To the reviewer that said his 11-year old daughter broke it on the first day, got news for him, I'm 6'5", almost 300 pounds, can probably lift my weight plus some, and I am NOT going to break this hammer this year. Considering that I gem-hunt and gold prospect dry placers, that amounts to thousands of blows by a gorilla that knows how to break a tool. Either feed your daughter kryptonite and return her to normalcy, or check to see what hammer you should have reviewed instead. This hammer is a single forged piece of steel, and it is not going to be broken by a human hand.
That said, and to address another person's comments that 'it is lacquered and will rust right away'; I have to warn them that most hammers are cold rolled steel, and I've yet to see an actual 'work hammer' that isn't patina'd with rust. I am suspicious of tools that don't flash rust into brown patina, especially striking tools that can seriously injure you. I haven't got a single cold chisel that isn't motley brown in color. FYI, it will take about 200-years at the bottom of the Atlantic for this hammer to rust away. I won't need it then, and it's fine for now.
As for the commenter who said 'the pointy end dulls quickly', all I can say is yes, stone chisels dull quickly, too. That's why they make sharpening rocks and grinders. You DO have to maintain cutting and striking tools, if you are doing it all correctly.
Again, if it was a wimp, I'll call it one immediately. This is just as good of a tool as any Estwing single-piece forged hatchet I have picked up. It feels fairly balanced, and has LOTS of weight in that head to crack most rocks on first-blow. Yes, you do have to re-form the single point rear pick when it dulls from heavy use. Yes, the handle is rubber (overcoating the single forged piece of steel underneath), and yes, it is a hammer. Yes, you could drive nails with it, though that is NOT what it is meant for. It is a ROCK hammer, for cracking and working rocks. It is a rather BIG rock hammer, the sticker on it said it was 20-ounces, and I didn't weigh it when I got it, but I'm guessing closer to 26-ounces, by the feel of it compared to my ripping hammer (again, I'm stuck on a 11-year old girl breaking this beast...it's like saying, 'and yes, my daughter just came out of diapers yesterday and she threw my 20-pound sledge out in the yard and broke it, right there, on the spot!).
Ok, maybe his daughter DID break a hammer yesterday, but I really want to see video of her breaking this one! I'll pay for her to break this hammer, I absolutely cannot imagine it being done.
I had a small staircase made of rocks cemented together that I needed to tear apart. This pick hammer in combination with a rock chisel let me break the staircase apart and then chip the cement off of the rocks so that they could be reused on another project. I was also able to chip the rocks themselves into shapes better suited to my needs. The hammer appears to be well made, sturdy, and balanced nicely. I realize my use of this rock pick hammer may be an edge case but I'm happy with how well it worked for me.
