Most of the better quality, mass produced hammers are European in origin and are marked in grams.
Do go on, I'm curious to hear which European brands you speak of. I am not familiar with European hammers, just US (Martinez, Stiletto, Estwing, Trusty Cook) and imported stuff from the big box stores.

These primarily general purpose or specialized stuff?

Peddiman Hammers are some of my favorites. Although if I were shopping for new hammers then I would probably buy from some smaller shops who make amazing tools for reasonable prices.

Are the pages correctly shown in the diagram?
Most of the posts fit together in a fairly straight forward, time-based, linear fashion. The brisket posts are all pressfit in from the same side of the thread. The hammer posts are inserted from the same side each one is located. The angle grinder posts can just be discarded when they fail.

No lip, spacer.

At the end of the day the drawings are wrong and you can be happy with it or not. It's not my first time using tools and I maintain that YT needs bettet customer service. It is surprising the level of commitment you all take to defending these companies so they owe you one

You think this is defending? :rofl: This is what we call "Thursday with a new topic".

This had nothing to do with yt or your mechanical skills. This was a hazing. You survived 24 hours here. You are now an alcoholic. Welcome to ridemonkey.

Without getting in to polemics and half truths, I am curious, did you find that spacer part #27 in there? If so, what's its purpose?
What's funny with all this is I went through the same exact thing months ago when tearing down my frame. The main difference being I let common sense set in a lot quicker and realized it wasn't put together the way I thought it was based on the diagram. but at the time, I was just as confused and frustrated as to why they did it the way they did. I just didn't destroy tools or start a thread about it. But I get it.

This just needed to be quoted. For... posterity or something.


I'm kinda hungry for bone marrow. :think:
