Another mystery hammer
Friends of mine in the US bought this hammer, in its original box, for US $1.00 at a yard sale. They sent it to me as a Christmas present a few years ago. It is useless as a hammer but great for pulling nails.
Has anyone ever seen one like it?

If you look at the handle end youll find where the batteries go.

I had a good laugh at this one, it's obviously designed by someone who has never seriously used a hammer before.
Q: Why are Estwing hammers so popular?
A: Because they are almost indestructible, and deliver most of your energy to the nail head rather than soaking it up in a timber or fibreglass handle.
So, a pivoted head on a fibreglass handle, :eek: it would want to be damn good at pulling nails out becuse you're going to be bending a lot of them!

Nope never seen one of those before (can't imagine why) I had to laugh as well, it really also needs a swivel in the middle of the handle so you can knock nails in around corners
I bet it also comes in a set with a flexible screwdriver, rubber ruler and plastic chisel.
