I think there's better deals (I believe Harbor Freight offers one).

Safety pliers:

The hammer finishline sells looks like it's from American Hammer, I picked one up on ebay for $25 +10 shipping. (6lb)

The American hammer has a special design that they claim actually tightens the head to the handle as it's used. Also the lady I bought it from said the hammer can be returned to A.H. for head re-casting free of charge for life.

I've seen these also labled "Imperial Hammer", very well made piece. I just picked up the wire and pliers at the Harbour freight store here for somwhere around $35 for both.

I also bought a 4lb composite hammer from Northern tool as the Kirkham guys said they hold up better than the lead ones, since they use these in production they must hold up pretty well.
