Im using an A5 hammer now and one thing that Im not that keen on is that the funk hole is vertically oriented instead of the horizontal positioning of the yo hammer...I feel that the head could work loose and fly off.
The head is pretty loose already and mine has only seen two walls and Im scared. Also the keeper cord set up is drilled thru the handle instead of coming out the bottom of the handle which makes it hard to rack in the holster( end of shaft is also flared making it harder).
The weight and power of this hammer surpasses the yosemite hammer and that is its plus.
just my 2 cents

EE,
You could redrill the keeper cord, routing it through the bottom of the handle.
Another advantage of that path is it reduces wear on the keeper cord.

So what are those bad boys going for now?
Still liking my Dhammer for all around camp whacking at tent pegs, fixing plate steel, and the like on our road trip. Just the right weight for an old dad.

Deuce, Glad you are happy with the hammer and use it.
Werner, sounds like you need a new hammer. I'm always ready to make a deal or a trade. I'll probably be making some more in the next couple months so you can specify what you think is best.
What would you call a custom Werner hammer? A Braunner?
