Thanks but it is much longer over here before the summer holidays, about 8 weeks I think. Thor hammers are very well made and if you wanted to get one it would probably be cheaper to order one directly from the Thor website. Take care

Thanks for work shop Wednesday. I was impressed with this hammer I finally ordered me one and it will be here the 25th . Thanks again for doing this review and I got the double copper hammer.keep up the good work and I to have a couple of old garden tractors .two sears 1974,one craftsman 93,a John Deere K316 1978, and a MTD that I’m not sure but it’s a early 70s. God Speed 👍

Thank you. We are very impressed with our Thor hammers and it is great that quality tools are still being made here in the UK. It sounds like you have a cool garden tractor collection, we have a couple of Roper's which I think are very similar to a Sears. Take care

Thanks for the review. My records show that I bought my Thor No. 714/ 44mm nylon hammer brand new on 1/7/08 for NZD$55.88, and I absolutely love it. I use it more than any other hammer in my workshop and the ends need replacing now (might buy new ones tomorrow, they’ll cost me more than the hammer itself!). I just bought a Thor No. 2 copper/rawhide hammer today, brand new, for NZD$92.18. All this stuff is available over the counter in a good engineering store here in New Zealand.

It is fantastic that you can buy these in New Zealand. We have also been told that they are also available in America and Canada. Sadly we have very few engineering stores over here now but we do have one near us that stocks Thor hammers and parts. I think it is great that you have a record of when you bought your hammer. Take care and thanks for commenting on my video

I picked up a No.4 from a boot sale for £1 today, it's a beast! I've just finished cleaning it up. Both heads have seen an awful lot of use but I've given them a tidy up. The copper face has burred over and is very pitted, I've tidied it up with a file but left plenty of patina. The hide face was splaying a bit so I put some super glue on it and compressed it with a pipe clip. I tidied that with a file too then cleaned the iron with oil and wire wool. It's not quite as good as new but it'll probably last another lifetime yet! It's really heavy so I'm confident that anything I hit with it will stay hit 😂

picked one up at the local flea market, same size as the new ones you got there but has the THOR cast like the older bigger one there. Was told by the seller that MGs, Jaguars had this like you indicated as a tool in their kit. These were used to remove the knock off nuts. beautiful looking hammer, just wish on the iron head, they would still cast the thor name!

Well I never knew that the ends could be replaced! I just checked the downloads page on the Thor Hammers website & there is a drawing for the tool required to do the job.

How's she goin'? It's so nice to see a good tool and knowing that it's a good tool before you buy it is pretty nice too. A lot of what we consider good brands have moved their manufacturing to places where labor and work place safety are not as good as we would expect and I think that has hurt their quality.

Good quality hammers with plenty of use options. There is nothing quite so satisfying as owning a good tool. So many things these days compete for the cheapest price and very often they don't last. For example, last week I bought a multi-bit screwdriver that was a knock off of a superior brand and it failed within the first use. These Thor hammers look like they are going to last a lifetime especially if the replacement tips remain available.
