buy an Estwing, the only hammer you will ever need :wink:

Multiple times in fact. One cheaper hammer of my own, when I help friends renovation I always take my own tools including simple thing like especially a good (and expensie) hamer. You should see their faces when you swing twce with their beloved hammer to drive a 2 1/2" nail in all the way and have a short hamer to give back to them. :shock:

Mind you, for £180, you could have a few Estwings......

If it lasts a lifetime why does it need to be replaceable?
