Go ahead and laugh, but I'd find it very handy. When we travel, I like to have two or three hammers with us because you just never know when you'll need one. Ice machine at the motel not dispensing? The 20 oz ball pein will take care of it. Ever put your quarters in a soda machine and nothing comes out? Don't get frustrated, just grab the sledge and quench your thirst.
Since the have no sharp edges you can take the carry case on a plane with you and it fits easily under the seat of in the compartment above. Your multi-tool is banned but the hammers will be right with you when you need them.
I guess that gives new meaning to "dumber than a box of hammers". ;-) Perhaps the "protective carrying case" isn't protecting the hammers, rather everything around the hammers?
The open trade secret, if it's green, mark it up high!
They should have had a foam lined gray case, designed to be stackable. ;)
I have had steel shanked hammers in the past, they really hurt the hand and the wrist if you hit something wrong. Even hitting it straight on is shocking enough.
Maybe it's to keep the green paint from chipping? The product "features" indicates the case is for portability and storage. You must admit, it's a lovely collection--and the case makes it clear that each hammer is one of a "set".
I'll put it this way... Most you guys are old enough to be my father or grandfather. I think I'm younger than Roy when he started making the Woodwright's Shop.
Perhaps, but I haven't used one. I have hammers that I used when welding or shaping molten metal in the past and they were harsh.
These are not one piece hammers, they have a piece welded on the handle to stop the head from flying off, which made me shudder thinking of what happens when you have a loose head on a handle.

I'd rather have a "spring" style handle. No-Slip Grip - Vulcanized rubber handle for secure grip while striking Hard plastic carrying case for portability and storage
I guess people are different. I can't use an Estwing claw hammer. I can feel the ""shock"" go right up my arm to my elbow. I much prefer fiberglass handles.
