Decent tip. I still believe a stone would be safer and perhaps a little more effective. Regardless, nice tool.

@maxlvledc Жыл бұрын

Agreed 100% but most ppl have never even tried using a stone for anything believe it or not.

As someone from an area that doesn't have a lot of igneous pebbles, I'd definitely bring some sort of hammering tool when I'm out camping. The powerstone™ is useful, but scarce around my parts.

Common sense is never common, it is far better to think of it as, “commonly TAUGHT sense”. There are very few concepts that are truly “common” or “innately universal”. A proper understanding of what common sense is and isn’t will help you a lot when it comes to understanding people’s behavior.

I wonder how it would affect the durability of the tool (I know it was designed for it, but stil). Thank you for sharing this. No more blood blisters or scratches. Edit: just one warning, I did something similar using a sledgehammer head once, and afterwards I had pain on my fingers, close to the articulation/joint, and a small bruise. So don't go hammering a whole house worth of nails using that method.

We have a small piece of land and the Signal is useful to tap in loose nails on the wooden gates.
