    Being a tool nut, I had to look up the hammer.
    $US 225 on Amazon.

    Now that is a brilliant idea. Simple, effective and no need to get a clamp. Cool hammer as well .

    the idea works I've used it many times but $250.00 for something that I can do with a $30.00 Estwing? I don't think so
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    $30? Jesus we get ripped off in Australia. We’re looking at around $100 for a stacked leather handle Estwing and I found one company selling the M1 here........$490. For that price I’d want the carpenter to come with it.

    You just witnessed the only carpenter that would bother with that board being 1/8" high

    yeah well if it had been 1/2" high he may not have been able to pull it down and would have embarrassed himself in his video while trying to show the world his big discovery Note also he was shilling the brands of the tools. many of these videos are more about advertising than anything

    It worked! 4 responses so far about the hammer, not the use.

    Another one of those videos where my take-away is...now why in the hell didn't I think of that? Simple, yet brilliant somehow.
