The be a new Crasftsman Contruction Hammer in the May Club Flyer.

Would you believe a 19 oz., steel handled, square faced, complete with magnetical nail holder Heavy Construction Hammer (HCH)?

Regularly $34.99, member priced at only $27.99.

I MUST have one!

As this is a brand new product, it may take a while to reach the stores and definitely won't have an initial display space on the floor.

ASK for the mn 38061 hamner.

One of the local Sears associates reported seeing it briefly on a tool delivery card.

However, not having a designated spot on the store hamner display has doomed the hammer to being sent back to the warehouse, no doubt erroneously on an excess inventory cart.

So, ASK for the hammer.

New hammer not in my nearby store either. Nor is the new folding framing square. Was kind of curious to see what they looked like.

Two of the new Craftsman Carpenter's hammers came in to the store, in the over-stock box (also nicknamed the "no-place" box).

I took a quick lunch break to a local bank ATM, to get the cash for the on Club special hammer purchase.

This thing should last a real long time, with its all-steel handle.

It is an exceptionally straight design of rip hammer, with a magnetic nail starting slot and an auxillary side claw for tough nail pulling.

Although there is a Craftsman sticker on the steel handle, the Craftsman imprint in the rubber-like handle grip is what will, no doubt, stand the test of time.

Being all steel, there is a LOT of clear lacquer on the tool, to keep it rusting while in the stores.

A quick pass with some sandpaper or synthetic steel wool from the wear surfaces should improve the hammer.

And, the top edges are a little too sharp for my taste.

Fortunately, not being plated allows me to "finish" some of the hammer's curves.

It's worth the time and effort, since most of my tools are life-time tools (with or without a warranty).

If it ever runs into a job that's too much for it, rest assured I have (or will acquire) a "more bigger" tool.

One of the stores in the area got the folding framing square in a couple of weeks ago.

The one I got is the $29.99 version.

I see in the flyer there is a less expensive square, also.

I haven't compared model numbers yet.

The one I have is suited for very precise actual roofing work.

I haven't used it enough yet to determine how useful it will be in straight forward 90 degree angle work.

But, I do have some stair jobs coming up at the property.
