Description
Anvil 16 oz. Claw Hammer. Hickory handle. Curved claw. Steel head. 'Nuff said.'
Intended Uses
While mainly used for striking and pulling nails, it can be used judiciously for the purposes of 'tapping', 'knocking,' or otherwise hitting objects.
Special Instructions
Keep your free hand away from the nail you are hitting with the hammer so if you miss the nail like Kevin Bacon in the opening credits of 'Temors' you don't accidentally hit your hand!

- Video: "Kevin Bacon can't hammer either…" posted by americanindenmark (9s). Don't feel bad if you can't hit the head on the nail the first, second, third, or fourth time–even Kevin Bacon has trouble hitting the mark in the opening scenes of Tremors–by all accounts an awesome movie :-)
