Hot take: my new $90 brick hammer chipped on the first day laying a herringbone pattern.

The handle was fine, but the forged steel head lost a chunk hitting a firebrick, so I had to switch back to my old Estwing for the rest of the job in Tacoma.

Sounds like that fancy steel wasn't so tough, huh?

Maybe @kelly_nelson95, that firebrick was just harder.

That fancy steel story reminds me of every overpriced tool I own, Kelly.
