Ever lasting Quality July 8, 2003

I have used this hammer for over 20 years and it is still the best I have ever found on the market. It has a well balanced head that isn't made a cheap steal as you will find with most hammers now days. The handle and head are as strong today as it was 20 years ago. My two Vaughan 16 oz hammers will be passed on one day to a person that will understand what quality tools are and knows how to take care of them. I have noticed that the these hammers are starting to be hard to find in stores.....my guess is that most people are after a wild looking hammer that absorb shock or have some wild handle that makes you think your holding something that is going to make their tool belt look cool!

There use to be a time when just about all the major hammer manufacturers produced top quality hammers - not any more. This is as close as you'll get to those made back in the 1950's by Plumb, Stanley and Belknap. Stanley should check this one out. Maybe if they went back to serious hammer manufacture instead of fashion and Chinese junk they might be able to compete with this one. I cannot fault this hammer other than maybe the option of a nickel plated finish like the Hart. Overall a solid choice and what's more it's made in the good old U.S. of A.!
