Hi Guys
Picked this up a week ago just before xmas not seen one like it before or have I been looking in the wrong places ?

Seems quite sturdy as I bought 2 one is being played with while this one is still packaged all tools have positive feel to them for a cheap MT it seems not bad at all.

Those split hammer-head plier tools have been around for a little while now Ray (do a Google search for "hammer multi tool") although I don't recall seeing that style of handle scales before. Some of them even have a hatchet head on the opposite face of the hammer.

Hatchet head now that is useful I will do a search as you suggest, I could use a hatchet head one for camping next summer cool.

Thanks for the information will get searching asap.

Well, I guess I've always seen them as more conversation pieces than actual users.

The darn handles are just too close to the head for me to get a really good Whack using one, if you follow what I'm saying $:-\$

Yes, those have been around for some time now. Bob is right. More of a conversation piece. The hatchet models are just slightly more useful, but the same applies. A short handle combined with not enough weight to power through your cutting needs make them not ideal MTs.

I know this is a MT forum, but when it comes to axes/hatchets I don't think I'd recommend anything but a dedicated one.

Lots to be seen here:

I was eyeing one of those up before christmas with rolson on it , seemd a little heavy for a usefull MT but a fun thing to have

They are fun to play with no doubt. They make nice shelf queens.

Hi I am with you guys on this after playing with one for a few weeks it is more of a conversation piece or fun item, I will hang onto mine but will look for a dedicated Hatchet for proper camping needs I think.
Thanks for all the replies and information/pointers man I love this site !

For a moment I thought the topic was about this other Hammer Multitool...

The Cole Bar Hammer:

Hehehe

Didn't know that you didn't know

About where to get one.. I don't think they are in production yet

Last time I checked they were still in prototype stage, that's why this thread caught my attention.

J-sews · **Reply #15 on:** January 02, 2012, 05:58:20 AM

Hmmm, when I check their website all the info is dated 2009. I hope the whole project didn't fall by the wayside. $:-\$

Cole-Bar hammer

. Did you see at the 1min mark the fella almost catches his finger between the 2 handles , I bet that could hurt

.

I have a BIG soft spot for the old Bridgeport hammer MTs

I have a Bridgeport that needs a new handle , I need to do some more pics when that is done

Me too, at least the patent was already granted in May last year..

In case you want to see its innards

I envy the Americans, we have hundreds of these patents can be done, the Russian inventors, but we are useless, do not defend and no one needs

Second from the left edge of the hammer, I saw in the toolbox, car, 1913. The museum in Moscow.

I've seen many versions of that one also Livan.

Some even have folding knives and corkscrews.

Cool! I always enjoy seeing innards

Hmmm, I wonder how far along they are with the design? Because as a plier addict, I'm thinking they could still improve it a bit.

(see my rough sketch below)

That Cole bar is neat
I am going against the grain. I like the short hammers. They are nice for small places. Like packs

Wow !

Not only you will get Pliers but they will also work as Visegrips !!

The only problem i see is that it could catch your fingers as Multimat pointed

That multi-tools that I saw was bigger in size in the 1.5-2.
Cole-Bar Hammer Patent this tool for very small jobs. they can not knock long as the hammer. The engineer will tell you - a little koefitsent efficiency, this relationship points to the severity of the impact point as a percentage. Most of the strike will go into his hand. Literate hinge placed at the hammer, and make it a plug
