Ken-Tool 35329 Bead Brkg Wg, 30 in, STL

I bought this Ken-Tool hammer based on previous experience with Ken-Tool products. It did not disappoint. Solid, heavy and USA Made. The handle is just the right length. Other reviewers posted negative comments because theirs arrived needing assembly, mine arrived fully assembled and ready to use. Highly recommend.

If you know how to use it this small bead breaking hammer is great

I was surprised that it came unassembled. It was also missing instructions or a wedge that is usually driven in the top of a handle to lock it in place. It could be that this product was not intended to have one, but there were no instructions and the handle had a dimple where such a wedge might go. In my opinion the pictures did not match what arrived. The pictures all show an assembled hammer, that is not what arrived. As is, I have no confidence that the hammer head will stay in place. I will be looking for something to complete the assembly.

Great heavy hammer. Same hammer I've been using for the last 20 years. I find the handle is the perfect length. I prefer this hammer to the ones with the composite or fiberglass handles. Shipped to rural eastern ontario in a matter of days.
