American Hammer 6lb Lead Hammer
I'm not a vendor, just a really impressed consumer.
If you are looking for a lead hammer, look no further. I recently bought the American Hammer 6lb lead hammer. This thing is a f$#%ing nice hammer. I bought it directly from Ted, the company president, who stands behind his product. Made in America and made better than any hammer I've bought in the past.
He could easily be selling this hammer for over $50 plus shipping, if not more. The best part is that he sold it directly to me for $35 shipped to my door. I told him I was going to post about it on this forum and he offered to sell it to Club Cobra members for the same price. So, if you want one just email him at ted@americanhammer.com
Also, if you ever need it recast it costs around $20. You just ship it to Illinois and they send it back.

I don't use one, so maybe I'm wrong. But isn't it just a chunk of lead with a stick attached?  |

Well, you won't find a better chunk of lead on a stick out there, much less at that price.
That being said, I do think a hammer is the finest tool in the garage. Simple in its purpose yet forceful in its nature. No wires, no moving parts, no fluids, no instructions.

Or is it a stick with a chunk of lead attached 
Probably going to order one tomorrow. I'll support the small guy.
I've seen lots of mold kits and handles to do this but I couldn't justify the cost. Never thought of pouring a hundred of them

You gotta use it for awhile before glowing so much I mean who knows until it takes ten or so wheels off and on?
I see people leave feedback to engine builders on eBay before they even start them ...

It is the best knock off tool I own. mushrooms a bit but the extra pound is worth it. Nice big handle as well.

This is a great tool...Finishline sells the same hammer for $70.00. I wish I had known about the source when I bought mine.
You can't knock the product!

Got mine while I was in Scottsdale. Even included a little hefty brass model!
The box is just the right size to put the safety wiring pliers and roll of wire in the trunk!

Shipped my old one back to them today for a $20 recast.
I ended up spending 1/2 more of that in shipping. 
So the $35 deal for a new one shipped is excellent for those that need one...not much more vs. recast.

Got mine a couple of days ago. Seems like a nice solid hammer. I mean really, it's a hammer, it's not complex. $70 for the same thing would piss me right off.
