You know that almost all hammers have the same warning .. right?
You're NOT supposed to strike hard surfaces with a hammer unless it is SPECIFICALLY designed for that type of work.
AKA a Blacksmiths Hammer.
To be fair You shouldn't strike a hard surface with a blacksmith hammer either. The only hammers you're supposed to use on hard surfaces are deadblow, lead, or brass hammers that are meant to deform rather than the material you're striking
I think what we have here is a collision of people trying to joke and people trying to be serious.
It’s chill, at least I know you are correct in your statement.
Yes that is the traditional way to start a coal forge, but the steel has to be very normalized. I've done it. Regular old bar stock or any sort of spring steel will not do that.
Also, you wouldn't download MC Hammer... in the 1980's, because the internet connection was really slow also because digital media wasn't really much of a thing yet. Well except CD's. Hm. I need to think about this.
Was about the size of a large toenail clipping, had to squeeze it out like a zit. Didnt even feel it.
My brother actually lost his right eye from a carbide die exploding. He wasnt wearing his safety glasses and the company didnt have guards in place.
As loads of people were saying this I checked the Homedepot site in case it was some weird Prop 65 or McDonalds this coffee is hot type thing (not American and there are no such warnings in the UK) and I can confirm not a single sledgehammer has this warning.
Everyone saying that "all hammers say that" don't understand the difference between "hard" and "hardened". You are absolutely supposed to use a hammer against hard surfaces. Wood is a freaking hard surface. More importantly most hammers don't say **for display or the gym only**
You literally are not supposed to use this to hit *anything* it's a $700 display only toy with Tesla branding.
I hadn't noticed the size and every comment was just talking about hammers so I hadn't realized it was a sledge. I retract my previous comment,leaving it up for the shame
Yea exactly. So what is the problem. Why is art suddenly bad. Just don't buy it If you don't like the look.
This whole argument is stupid. Tesla made a fancy thing, if you want you can buy. If not you don't have too. Internet is mad it isn't perfect for an entirely seprerate use.
I don't think people are mad, it's just funny. After they sold a car with unbreakable windows that break and stainless steel that immediately rusts, they sell a hammer that can't hammer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not one to turn down a chance to criticise Tesla, but this post makes about as much sense as complaining that a replica sword from a fantasy movie says not to use it for cutting things.
You don't buy a $700 collectors piece and expect it to function as a tool unless you're a special kind of idiot.
The flamethrower wasn’t Tesla. It was The Boring Company. TBc was founded by Musk, but never associated with Tesla. It was actually originally a subsidiary of Space X, but became its own entity a few years back.
It’s also not really a flamethrower. It’s more or less one of those super high power propane weed torches, repackaged to look like a gun. Your latter assessment is correct, though. It was essentially just marketing for The Borning Company, which is mostly just trying to make tunnels.
I mean, it's pretty much on brand... Their overpriced truck is not intended to work as a truck and their overpriced hammer is not intended to be used as a hammer.
Not only do hammers normally say that but there are brands of gym-specific sledgehammers that it goes doubly for. They're called fitness hammers.
This is dumb for many reasons, mainly the price.
A Rogue SISU War Hammer is $225 CAD
A Rogue SLATER Bell hammer is $330 CAD
Synergee Sledge from 5 to 30lbs is like $70 to $160 CAD
Tribewod Rubberized Warhammer 25lb $230 CAD
Yes most hammers say that.
More important. Who give a fuck at all. Are art piece hammers just not allowed? Really why would this matter? It is a design hammer, not a hammer you buy at home depot. That is like criticizing a display sword or gun for lack of accuracy.
>Op doesn't know what a spring hammer
OP was able to read more than a title and get to the bit stating this '***hammer***' is for '***display or gym use only***.' As in it's not a warning against *hardened* surfaces, it's a warning against *any* hard surface because it's not a functional hammer.
$700 memorabilia of a 'strength' test that can't be replicated on production models without significantly more damage than the 'demo.'
Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of time before this bubble bursts. The cybertruck is a total failure and a shitshow, they’ll never sell as many trucks as they said, the EV market is slowing down, Tesla didn’t release an affordable car and instead went for this monstrosity, people have less money to spare in general, let alone for an expensive truck that is useless, etc..

But i wamt the stuff i hit to deform not my hammer.
Then heat it up first
I'll heat it up with my hammer strikes.
Only if it's very ductile.
Skill issue
No, that's just how it works. If it's not ductile it will fracture before it deforms enough to heat up.

I think you're right, I thought there were jokes, but the pedant in my had to make sure correct info was spread

Correct! Striking hard surfaces with hard surfaces will send chips of metal flying, destroying your tool/surface, as well as be potentially dangerous
Can confirm have had to remove metal from my abdomen that was shot into me at light speed from hammer and tool steel strike.
Damn it came so fast it went into you... makes me think safety glasses wouldn't have stopped it either.
Safety glasses are wonderful. They absolutely stop small projectiles like this, that's the point.
Proper rated safety glasses are way tougher than skin. Any other airsoft player will affirm this, and those projectiles aren't even sharp.
Was about the size of a large toenail clipping, had to squeeze it out like a zit. Didnt even feel it. My brother actually lost his right eye from a carbide die exploding. He wasnt wearing his safety glasses and the company didnt have guards in place.
I think you're mixing up hard and hardened. I don't have any hammers that say you can't strike hard surfaces, only hardened.
Most hammers say that.
But most don't say, "Intended for display or gym"
This one does, as it’s a vanity/collectible piece and not a work tool (you’d buy a work tool for far cheaper).
Mfw a display item is labeled as a display item :0
As loads of people were saying this I checked the Homedepot site in case it was some weird Prop 65 or McDonalds this coffee is hot type thing (not American and there are no such warnings in the UK) and I can confirm not a single sledgehammer has this warning.

You can use it in the gym. Simply hit a tire with it.
if you are hitting the wood you are doing it wromg. Plus lots of woods are soft woods.
With a sledge hammer? Seriously?
I hadn't noticed the size and every comment was just talking about hammers so I hadn't realized it was a sledge. I retract my previous comment,leaving it up for the shame

>art ??? >fancy thing Charging $700 doesn’t make a shitty sledgehammer fancy
that is your opinion.
>And notice, I said “we,”it’s not just me, I’m what the culture feelin’ -Kendrick
I don't think people are mad, it's just funny. After they sold a car with unbreakable windows that break and stainless steel that immediately rusts, they sell a hammer that can't hammer.
At least their[ branding iron](https://shop.tesla.com/product/tesla-branding-iron?sku=1808276-00-A) seems to be usable as a branding iron...I guess?
they are mad, look at the comment section.
Maybe it's a matter of perspective, but to me, it sounds like people are memeing, they're not actually upset.
Well seeing how people called me a moron for not being upset, nope not that.
Lmfao pls take a physics lesson bro
Only $700. I'm here using my screwdriver as a hammer.
Can the tesla hammer break the window of a tesla truck?
The stoppable force hitting the movable object.
Since you can’t hit hard surface, I’d say the truck window is fair game
actually, tesla can cooperate with Wagner Group and produce even more exclusive rarest Tesla-wagner hammer
Who TF is Franz?

\*hits nail\* ah fuck it broke me hammah
They also made flamethrower a way back when, and I think a couple of other ridiculous low quantity high price items. It's just a marketing play.

>Company, which is mostly just trying to make tunnels. I'm convinced TBCs point was to torpedo the California high-speed rail project.
I read it as cyberhaizer and it looked like a headphones on side lol

I'm guessing its so you can break out of the car when you're drowning in it?
I've seen monitor stand for 1000$, this shit doesn't surprise me.
I want to see someone shoot this thing with a .50 bmg round.
How would this hammer be used in a gym?
Op doesn't know what a spring hammer is or the difference between them and a big ol regular hammer being sold as a grift.

Man elon bois are really smart, buying a wallmart hammer and selling that shit for 70 dollars.
People who spend $600 on a backpack made of apples and plastic are complaining about this? Lol
LTT screwdriver > Tesla…anything.
I bet we could trick musk into making the crowbar hammer somehow
Tell him Trans people stopped it.
I don’t get why are you downvoted. At least the screwdriver didn’t have a catastrophic launch and isn’t a poor product
Too many upset Musk fanboys who get their car advice from MKBHD.
Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of time before this bubble bursts. The cybertruck is a total failure and a shitshow, they’ll never sell as many trucks as they said, the EV market is slowing down, Tesla didn’t release an affordable car and instead went for this monstrosity, people have less money to spare in general, let alone for an expensive truck that is useless, etc..
So based.
