Traditional Styling in New Design
I have used the NEMO Meldr Hammer to drive extra large, concave aluminum tent stakes deep into damp clay soil, the kind issued by the US Military. The results were striking (pun intended) and pleasing to even the most critical onlooker. But who cares, right? It's about having fun in the outback. The hickory handle on this finished tool has a solid feel and performs very well. The business end of the hammer is robust with a large strike area, compared to a typical hammer. I have used a claw hammer, a ball peen version and the butt-end of a hatchet. This hammer does more, better. The hammer's head has a vacant area just beneath the striking surface for use in prying tent stakes from the ground. Use a rolling motion to pry and lift your anchors from the ground. Opposite the head at the other end of the handle, is a nifty bottle opener that doubles for other light-duty pry jobs. There are two eyelets provided, one just beneath the head and another drilled through the "Red-tail Hawk" claw on the opposite end of the handle. I could not find mention of either eyelet in the item description. It would make sense to me that these two anchor points could be used to secure a length of paracord between each, for use as a sling. Drape the hammer over your back, off of one shoulder and have both hands free while continuing to move about positioning and assembling a tent's system of stakes and guy lines. Being somewhat of a collector of unusual and odd hammers, this entry definitely rose to the 'top five' on my favorites list with heirloom quality. Well done NEMO!!
