An Ideal Survival Hammer [Posted on 2008-01-18]
I am the author of Planet X Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide. In the book, I deal with 2012 survival issues and I use this hammer as an example of the perfect survival tool. What makes it great for construction also makes it great for situations where you have to defend yourself, free someone who is trapped in rubble, dig a fire pit, etc. I use it in my presentations and it is a real eye opener. I have people swing a few different cheap hammers and then this one. Even women appreciate the balance and grip. FYI: If you research German war hammers of the 15th century, you'll find a striking similarity in design. This hammer is not only a great nail driver, it will break or crush bone, which is what you'll need when being attacked by a hungry feral work dog. Everyone who takes 2012 seriously should seriously consider this hammer.

It can be little dangerous [Posted on 2008-05-01]
I would doubt that most of you looking for a Stanley FatMax hammer are doing so for survival in 2012. I bought mine for framing and carpentry work and it has several issues that make it one of those hammers that I have and not one that I prefer on a daily basis. It has a flare on the end that makes it all but impossible to easily use with a metal hammer ring on your tool belt. It constantly catches on the ring when pulling the hammer out and you must tilt it to get it to drop back into the loop. Also, if the hammer catches on anything like a ladder you're coming down it will not pull out of your hammer loop and it can literally leave you hanging. It also gives off a ping sound when you hit a nail and unlike a golf club doing so it becomes very annoying very quickly. This comment would apply to all the FatMax hammers regardless of weight because the design is the same for all. I'll leave the hammer around on the job site but won't use it with a tool belt. It's a rugged hammer but not well thought-out for the construction trade or weekend builder.
