I'm a geek for interesting and unusual tools, love this new hammer.

At Kickstarter.

Self recharging. It uses an impact generator which as the hammer is struck forces a shift in the charge of the ions in the metal head. As you raise the hammer from the first blow the lessening in gravitational pull forces the atomic structure to reform thereby enhancing the momentum applied on the following stroke.

I think it's pretty cool. Would be great around the camp to limit the tool clutter. It's probably not unlike the Leatherman I carry which was a gift from the Mrs. Not the "ideal" tool in any application, but good enough the majority of the time in one easy to carry package.

There's no way a self respecting professional would ever use this daily...the injuries caused would quickly cause it to be thrown on the scrap heap. Think of the stingers that would happen would be horrible.

I can see it as a decent emergency tool to throw in the trunk or behind the seat of the truck, but it would never fly as a professional's tool.

That's how I see it. Wouldn't use it if I was a roofer or building a house. A tool in your car that could save the day.

The shock loading to your hand alone with the all steel casting would make you disgard it for any practical usage in my opinion.

x2.

Interesting notion, but like a lot of these multi-tools, the tradeoff to get all the tools on the same item tends to weaken the utility of each individual tool, so the sum off all the parts equals less than each individual.

-we have the already mentioned stingers and pinching from the hammer portion of it
-we have a pry bar that is now way weaker than a regular crowbar, and I personally would be nervous about the joint breaking using it as I typically use a crowbar.
-and we have a ratchet of dubious quality, that also happens to have a sharp and pointy handle end suddenly in the hammer area, so a lot higher chance of hurting yourself putting serious force on it.

I prefer a crowbar, a hammer, and a ratchet personally if I were to use this thing for work purposes.

Agree, makes a great trunk tool though. This will be this years gift to handyman dads from kids and wives I bet.

as to the video of the unshaven douche wandering around doing manly things, thats pretty funny. I enjoyed the one armed nail removal from post

^ ^ You said most all of what I was going to say as did others before.

I'll take these three FTW. I used to think fiberglass handled hammers looked dorky but supposedly they are the easiest on your elbow, followed by wood with the worst being the tough as nails looking all-steel handled Estwings.

The wood handled unit here has a 14 oz titanium head (!?). I'd seen them for sale and about 10 years ago, the supe on a big job gave us all $50 credit with a tool truck lady who would come to the job. I think he had the hots for her, and she was hot. I didn't see anything else I wanted so I got it. Of course it doesn't really replace a 20 or 24 or more oz unit but I'm tired of swinging them big ol' things anyway. Has the nifty groove and magnetic holder for a nail on the top for starting a nail up out of reach of your other hand.

The wrecking bar is pound for pound the best I've had. Called a 'form bar' sometimes.
