Knowing that after a few years there would probably be several more "flaws" from various things that happen to hammers, I bought it. When I attempted to change the head I discovered the other flaw they failed to mention, it was crossthreaded onto the shaft. If I wanted to use a different head I'd have to cut it off and use the other end of the shaft or buy a second shaft which I did. Either way I got the shaft from Schaff! :-) Mike -- I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
