Da na na na. Da na Da na. Can touch this!
- MT Hammer pics! :D

I've had the "Sheffield" version for a while, but a friend gave me the bigger infamous 'MT Hammer' today. Wood handles! : ::)

Who else has met MT Hammer?

I had one for a while and ended up gifting it to a member here, amongst other stuff I sent him.
Quite frankly i almost never put it to use and felt dangerously cheap to me, especially the inexistent detent of the handle implements, that fell out as soon as you hammered something with the flat end    :facepalm:

I have a couple of these from many, many years ago. I never really use them but do keep one in my car in case a need a hammer.

Hey Peacant,
You aren't kidding. I just tried the hammer and the dang tools come out if the handle/tools aren't firmly gripped. :o
I'll have to remember to wrap my hand around the handle and tools completely before using it. :P

Captain,
I think the glove box will be the destiny if the bigger MT Hammer. Might come in handy if I need to knock some nails out of a piece of wood I find on the side of the road. Haha :cheers:

I reckon I may have them both. The dumber, the stranger, the weirder a multi-tool design is, the more attracted I am in getting it. :facepalm:

I have a little Totes one that was the only hammer I had that would fit into a small ammunition can. I used it on small nails a lot. Most of the tools I never used, except for the screwdriver.

Here's some I don't have (but want to, bad) that are large tools with a hammer, one plier based, the other pry bar based.

Red Viking Plier tool. Has an axe, hammer, pliers, bolt gripper, bottle opener, screwdriver, and a nail puller.

Bridgeport's Tomahawk. Primarily designed for opening and closing wooden crates, but good for a lot of stuff.  They usually had a pry bar, nail puller, and axe and hammer heads.

This version has more of a fire axe type head, and the hammer face is on the side.

I confess, I also own the infamous MT Hammer too: what a piece of pure crap it is  :D
Use it only for the hammer when doing camping, just to attach and remove the tent.

Here it is in glorious company of useless tools, with a special mention to the Arizona Vic knockoff (with uber-useless tools included). Bought this in summer 2018 in Arizona, probably in Oatman or Seligman when we were doing some portions of Route 66.
