Is the pommel good for driving stakes or hammering in general?

It's great for driving stakes and for general hammering. Iv owned this knife for a yea now and iv used it for many activities. It's a beefy knife.

The pommel is plenty sturdy enough to handle normal outdoor hammering chores like tent stakes. I personally prefer to use a baton, but then again I usually have one handy anyways for baton chopping. Which, by the way, this knife does quite well.

The knife may work for this application, but with limited ability since the pommel is not real thick in nature. Tent stakes and light duty hammering may work. However, for cutting, carving, shaving branches, and other woodsman's work this knife excels!

I've found this stone works well with kitchen cutlery but is too fine for garden equipment. If you've got the axe ground down, the coarse grit side would be a good finisher but the fine grit side would just get torn up.

It's more of a decoration peice. You could probably swing it lightly but any vigorous motions will probably result in damage.

It's a very stout and sturdy tool, and because of it's heft and weight, I think throwing it would be difficult unless you have very good upper body strength. Check out the tool's specs- it's really meant as a tool of destruction more than practicing a craft.

By my standards, if you just hit it against something very hard, it will break. But if you just use it in battles and don't fall against it, it will be fine

This tool impacts as it turns, either right or left to turn screws or lag bolts as such. It will only turn things, will not hammer like hitting on a punch. If this is your question. my answer is no.

Yes, we just did a trial set up. The stakes are really sturdy so I would suggest a good mallet.

yes I would give it the same rating today. the quality is good for what it is intended for. I have not tried to use the mallets for driving the stakes in the ground or splitting cord wood nor would I recommend it, but for fun in the back yard its great.

The pommel has a wicked point that could be used to break glass or other things.

I would say no. There is a video on Youtube by nsz85 called "AR-15 - Staking Your Castle Nut Properly" and he uses an automatic (spring-loaded) punch like this one to stake his castle nut. I would recommend a non-automatic punch. You are going to have to hammer the punch to move the metal and that is not the point of this tool. This tool is meant to be used without a hammer, and without a hammer you won't be staking anything! Find a punch that is not spring-loaded, should be cheaper too.

My long sword is to light at the grip. But, I believe unless you fill the pommel and grip with metal, the material is not giving you any more. Still a good thing for basic training, If you are more advanced use the real thing.

NO , The hammer drill function is medium to light duty and is best used for small holes in concrete. Example . If you wanted to affix something to a hard surface and predrill a hole in order to install a plastic anchor , than this would be ideal . Make no mistake this is a very powerful drill and can handle 90% of whatever your going to throw at it , but this will not work as a impact driver . Many vendors are selling both the impact driver and the heavy duty drill in kits . This is the way to go if looking for something like the product your looking for .

Its very durable to blunt blows, but metal weapons will ding the hell out of it. Its not designed to take on edge weapons.

Absolutely! I've done both...it is an easy push if the road is good...I even use it on packed sand and granite...

It is a coseplay piece, just for show and handleing, not for sword fighting. U will damage it.

It's a toy, and as such can take hits from similar toys during play "battle". I would not expect it to hold up to serious blows or blows from more study "weapons". It will, however crack your knuckles pretty hard if you miss.

You should be able to use it without any problem. Proper lubrication to the hammer is very important.
