The product, in the report: Ridgid ergonomic hammer with cut-out head and plastic damper, molded rubber cushion grip. Black head and gray/orange rubber handle
I was using hammer to build a frame for workbench iam making. The metal head and inner part of hammer slid out of rubber handle and struck the wall near me. My fiance’s child was playing in area and could have been injured or killed by this hammer. I contacted manufacturer to seek replacement since the retailer no longer carries this hammer. It was very difficult to navigate phone menus to actually speak to someone at manufacturer and when i finally did get to the right place, they were rude an refused to help simply stating that i shoul just go buy a new hammer even though i spent @50.00 on this one approx 6 yrs ago. Its a good thing this hammer did not cause injury or significant property damage... The hammer has no model number listed but i have enough pics to help ifentify it.
