Thor Split Head Hammer

Tool: THOR Rh150 Split Head Hammer Hide 900G Size 2 https://geni.us/O8ZgEdj Transcript: Hi, I'm Sean Michael Ragan, and this is Cool Tools. From the primordial bone club... ...to this amazing rock sampling tool used on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts, there is an astonishing variety of hammers in the world, especially considering what a simple tool it is. A small sampling of my personal collection includes a carpenter's hammer, a ball peen hammer, a tack hammer, a welder's hammer, a brass hammer, a lead hammer, and a rubber hammer (which is technically a mallet because it has a much larger head than these others). Almost half of these I keep around because of their non-marring properties. If I've got to hammer on a piece of hard steel but I don't want to damage it, I'd probably use brass. For soft steel, aluminum, or brass, I'd probably use lead. For wood or plastic, the rubber mallet. They're pretty much essential for doing professional work, but they do take up a lot of space in the toolbox. Which is why this is my new favorite thing. This is a 2-pound (or 900 gram) 1.5-inch (or 38 millimeter) split head hammer manufactured by a British company called, awesomely, Thor. I bought this one from their U.S. distributor Vaughn, and though it is exactly the same hammer, it has their sticker on the handle instead of the—in my opinion—vastly cooler Thor sticker. Anyway, why is this hammer so great? Because it's really a completely modular hammer system, which I realize sounds a bit overblown, but if we'll grab an Allen wrench and remove these big socket-cap screws here, you can see how cleverly it's designed. The two halves of the split head are identical pieces of cast iron, and they're the only parts of this hammer that can't be easily replaced or quickly swapped out to reconfigure it for a different purpose. Obviously, you're mostly gonna be changing out faces, but this design also makes it super easy to replace or reconfigure the handle. They even use hex nuts on this side instead of a threaded casting so you can easily replace either the male or female threads if they get gummed up. Now, mine came with these two rolled rawhide faces, but if you don't want rawhide for whatever reason, you can also buy it with faces made of nylon or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. And because these inserts are just little cylinders of material it's quite easy to make your own, especially if you have access to a lathe. Here's an aluminum face I made in about ten minutes, and the one on this side is polypropylene. And, because I can't resist getting in on the meme, here's one made of cake. This side's got icing, and this one's fondant. I just don't get fondant. Fortunately, you can now buy this hammer through Amazon and, at least at the time of production, they're asking just $40 including shipping, which is a great price. I paid a bit more than twice that when I bought this one last year, and I didn't even get the sweet Thor sticker on the handle. OK, thank you for watching.
