Were you able to wield the hammer? Did it ever fail?

Yes and no, don't hammer down a nail lol. It will beat anything in but it has an aluminum stud for support it'll hammer the nail but netter of with full shank if you are planning on hammering something. It's a clean cutter and sturdy though

Sounds like got a defective hammer I would send it back- it's designed to hit!

Yes. Works fine. Staked 3 so far. Just keep punching it until you get the desired movement. No hammering required.

It has happened to me twice. Luckily I was able to dig it out. You have to be careful. I love the unit though...it is well worth it.

Rachel, I don't think this hammer could be used for that purpose. It is very light and hollow.

I'll be aw honest, I haven't even had a chance to use it yet. It is still in its case. The tool does look dependable. I'm not sure how well it would do compared to an actual demolition hammer. if it's for small things I think it would work fine but if you are doing lots of concrete demolition you may want to consider something for that specific purpose. sorry I can't say for sure.

No. I tried everything stakes ,rocks, etc. do yourself a favor just buy a metal or stone one.

Yes, but it was not real successful because it put my hand in an awkward position and made the already stiff trigger pull even harder. I no longer use it.

Broke a few nails trying. I essentially just pushed as hard as I could through the hole made for the camera. It took several tries but I finally got it out.

Yes, the instructions say that you can do it with a hammer. I would recommend using a press to do this.

I suppose anything can fail over time. Water hammering can be caused by many factors. Sorry I don't have the answers your seeking. The pair I purchased seem to be holding up so far. If anything changes I will post an update.

Yes! I just tried mine out last night, and I was surprised at how tough it is to push. I thought it did a pretty good job, but the jury is still out on whether or not I will keep it.

we used the side of a hammer to pound it in. I had my son and daughter help hold parts together.

No, you don't have to use the hammer that comes with the kit- though it would last longer. Also, there are kits available that don't include the hammer.

I had no problem. Maybe try a little WD40 on the metal before snapping it in.
