Brass Hammer

[The Critic]

I am looking for a ~2lb brass hammer similar to this one:
https://shop.snapon.com/product/HBBT-Series-Bronze/32-Ounce-Bronze-Tip-Hammer/HBBT32

I am open to buying snap-on, but if cheaper (and better) alternatives exist, I would like to consider them. Trusty Cook does not make anything similar.

What are you wanting to use it for? I use mine for working on my firearms.

I saw those at Amazon as well. But I thought he might want a fiberglass or a wrapped steel handle.

The Harbor Freight ones are nice honestly at least in my opinion. But they aren’t like the style you posted though.

Thanks for all of the quick responses. I have not visited the Tekton site in a while and was pleased to see that they had revamped their line of hammers. I have some rewards to use up so I will probably order a 1lb and 2 lb from them.

How about a made-in-USA Brooks? https://brooks-usa.com/solid-brass-hammers/

Cheaper than the SnapOn.

They're almost too pretty to use, though.

The brass hammer that was posted in the new tool thread the other day looked really nice. It was a Wilton.

I thought this was a heavy-metal band thread.

I prefer a Thor copper/rawhide, but do have a brass hammer that gets used often...a cheap and nasty Great Neck...it has done the job for many years.

Nothing wrong with a all brass hammer but for the job you want it for I use this..

These are pretty enough to hang on the wall as conversation pieces.

Yeah!

For the price of the SnapOn, you can buy two Brooks. One to use, one to frame. Ha.

These look ridiculously good. Not familiar brand, but I am curious what their warranty process is.

Judging by how easily brass drifts get damaged/worn, I think these brass hammers will be a wear item. Local warranty may end up being a factor.

I'm biased to Thor brand hammers from my center lock, or was it centre lock, wire wheel days. Not cheap, but good quality tools from a company that specializes in non marring hammers, mallets and mauls; very British.
