The product, in the report: very small hammer--almost looks like a toy, but the iron head is very heavy
The hammer I purchased at 99 CENT ONLY STORE, on Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego, Ca., for my grandson, came apart after one use. It turns out that the very heavy iron head is attached to a flimsy steel tube with only a brittle plastic band that shattered on first use! It could have caused serious injury had anyone been standing where the head landed. I called the 99 Cent Only Stores customer service, but they hung up on me and I received recorded messages when I tried to call back. They have never returned my call, even though I left a detailed message on their answering machine, so I don’t think they intend to acknowledge the information.
