Yeah, so you said a few days ago. I checked it out in the Amazone when I first saw the title, and I knew that I shouldn't buy it. It might make me break out both crowbars to get to a credit card, and I'd spend my hard earned cash/credit on a tool I'd never use. I collect and use 'users', TYVM.

You Guys Suck :^}

You got me thinking and digging around:

- Two Previously mentioned Metal Handled Craftsman Claw Hammers

- Fiberglass Handled Stanley Claw, also inherited from my dad

- Blade handled Stanley claw, gift

- One wood handled claw, source unknown

- Four varying sized ball-peen hammers

- Two small, wood handled tack/claw hammers

- One small-headed tack hammer

- One plastic head mallet

- Two maple/walnut chisel/carving mallets that I turned a few years ago

- Rubber mallet

- And since you guys get so picky, three sledge hammers ranging for 4 to 10 pounds (plus a 10 pound splitting maul)

- Meat tenderizing mallet in kitchen

So there!
