The hammer is one of the most primitive tool invented but it is still a very useful tool to have at home today. The Cast hammer is an object of beauty and function that fulfils our basic home improvement needs such as to put nails on the wall or for daily kitchen use. It is also quite satisfying to see a hammer that can stand on its own. Cast hammer is sand casted in pure brass and available in satin or blackened finish.
