I got a Fiskars 3 pound (11" handle) hammer a while ago that I liked while I was using it. I prefer wood over fiberglass/composite handles, but I didn't mind this one. I was looking at those hammers. Unfortunately they only stock the four pound version around my location. Fiskars calls them a demolition club iirc which I find amusing for some reason. I'd like to give the three pounder a shot.

Frazer Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 It is kind of a club with the short handle and Fiskars considers the straight peen to be a demolition face, so I guess demolition club would make sense! I actually picked one up when I saw Jennifer gave one a try and liked it. It was my go to hammer for a while, but it has since been overshadowed by my 3# rounding hammer. Now it's usually the one I give to people visiting the shop for the day since it's supposed to be easier on the arm/hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I stopped bringing rounding hammers when I teach as students couldn't keep track of the flat end when using them. A pit as I have a nice range or weights in them. Perhaps I'll put my tool color on the handle along the top where the flat face is down... Pnut did you ask if they would order one for you?

JHCC Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I have a small flat filed down the edge of the handle on the same side as the flat face. It's quite easy to tell by feel which way is which; you can even switch faces mid-swing without having to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 College Students could probably ignore a strip of barbwire along the top of the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not a fan of using credit cards online. I need to replace the pre paid card I used specifically for online purchases. I got a notification a while back for a charge I didn't make so I cancelled it and haven't replaced it yet. I much prefer using money orders but that's nearly unheard of these days.

Daswulf Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Can you buy gift cards for that store? I'm not positive but you might be able to buy a gift card for the amount you need to use for an online purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received a letter from the IRS dated Feb 5th letting me know our second Covid relief payment was on the way and what to do if I haven't received it. We received it Jan 3rd. I mailed in our BOA dues in late December and the check still hasn't cleared the bank?????. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using a gift card for some shoes online and they still wanted a credit/debit card with the cardholders name on it. I don't know about Walmart though. I'll find out next time I go there. I can't believe I didn't think of that already. Haha. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
