    Most of my hammers were re-handled finds at flea markets and garage sales. No particular favorite but I do know I dont like those crappy 20 LB sledge hammers they sell at ACE hardware. I mean the Head is fine and all, but 3 or four good swigs with it and I'm ready for the fiberglass replacement handle kit.

    Oh yea, I miss my old Spike Maul,,, :(

    I prefer the Armand brand.

    (Armand Hammer)

    Heh. :)

    But seriously. I usually use something cheap that you'd find at Harbor Freight. Then again, I'm not a craftsman or someone that uses it often.

    The ones with the wood handles that I've had usually come loose.

    I have actually tied a rock to a stick for a hammer in a pinch, but they dont last long and safety goggles are a must. I think I was busting up a rotten log for fire starter material in the Ozarks. And make sure the rock is "a real rock' and not just a lump of sandstone. :D
    Look for flint or granite.

    Gotta get me one of those flask hammers,,,

    I have no idea what the brand is on my favorite hammer. I'll be sure to check tomorrow while I'm working. I do have a favorite nail puller - Death Stick Exhumer. It has a saw wrench and a bottle opener. :D

    Dead On? That's a K-Mart brand. :p

    Nah, those things are really good. I have some blue cat's paw from work that has like a round head... the thing sucks.

    I would go look and tell you, but I can never find tools when I need them. I usually have to improvise.
