I just bring the hammer of Thor with me. 8lbs with a stainless digger. I’ve put that digger through purgatory for 8 years now and you can’t tell it’s hit a rock.

The head without the digger is 8lbs!

Probably 11lbs total.

That jolt would make me wet my pants when it struck the stake....

Lol! I’m 6’6”, 255. It’s just like shooting a .50 cal machine gun while it’s not on a mount. Lol.

I but the peen off a ball peen hammer
Cut a valley and weded in a carbite blade

Lots of 7018 heat treat it weld a high carbon steel in rod where the handle goes in Then fit a peice of schedule 40 pipe weld it on and lay a good 7018 bead on the joint


Its a dream to use drives stakes in rock digs in rock hard ground and lasts firever


Most guys ive worked with go to a simular hammer

Takes slot of work out of setting with a long handle and heavy head


Wayne derrick built the first ones i seen i copied his desighn i just went with carbite and normalized the head

Dang, looks good!
JSfab sent me these. The red one is 4# and the blue is 3#. Striking surface and blade are AR550

Those look like nice hammers but I would like to see the grip extended up the handle personally.

Square corners. Ouch!

It actually feels pretty good in the hand, just the rubber grip is a bit to big.

The rubber grips look too short.
Square striking surface is peculiar.
