I used the new hammer the other day, and when I asked my grandson to hand it to me - he said, "Remember the song says Can't Touch This."
He handed me the hammer.
Today, I was using the old burnt handled one to dig briars out of a flower bed. It works even better than I thought it would. I used the head as a hand grip and it was easy pushing the shaft into the sandy loam to get to the briar root ball that was against a tree root.
It's two tools in one now. I think I'll leave it that way.
