Vaughan Grayvik Hammers Deal March 2013

What happens when Vaughan ‘s quality control comes across hammers with finishes that don’t quite meet their cosmetic standards? They save them up, slap on a Grayvik label, and send them out to distributors.

Our friends at Harry Epstein received a truckload of Grayvik hammers this week. Nail hammers, rip-claw hammers, ball pein hammers, axes, hatchets, and a few other styles, as well as a couple of pry bars, are now up and available for sale at appreciable discounts.

These hammers are all made in the USA, and although the Vaughan seconds might have a cosmetic blemish or two, their performance should not be affected. A day of use will give any hammer cosmetic blemishes anyways, right?

    Apparently Vaughan/Grayvik also produces chisels, so I figured I should mention that as well. 100% American made even.

      Ah, I do see the 4″ brick chisel in the listing, thanks for catching the omission!

    Your welcome. Called Epstein’s today and even they were shocked about that Grayvik made chisels or at least mason’s chisels. Definitely much cheaper than Dasco PRO though.

    Excellent deal on USA made hammers. I’m always amazed by the deals that HJE offers.

    Just a heads up, there’s a few cons with the Grayvik stuff.
    I found that I’ve had to put a bit of work into every one of the
    items I bought from HJE to get them similar to the Vaughan equivalent
    that you can buy off the shelf. I’ve landed into the poor house;
    so my time means nothing. However, for a savings of $2-5 on some items;
    it may not be worth it (the pricier hammers, good deal…chisels and wrecking bars…not so much).

    Bare in mind, I never brought any of this up with the HJE staff; and, honestly,
    as they’ve bent over backwards for me once or twice, I’m currently spanking myself
    for mentioning it here, first.

    1. Blemished? I’m looking at a pair of forging issues.
    One item is missing a noticeable amount of steel…on the striking end.

    2. If it’s supposed to be sharp…it’s blunt. I gather these tools get thrust off
    the line before that stage.

    3. They aren’t kidding about the paint.
    It’s thick. There’s runs/drips. It covers areas where the
    metal should be bare or very lightly clear coated for shelf life.

    That said; there’s a nice flipside: they aren’t beat to death like every estwing or Vaughann I’ve ever bought off the shelf. As matter of fact….I suppose I’ve spent considerably less time fixing up the grayviks! I guess you could say they come in their own placenta made of man-tough. :O

    I have just received a load of stuff from HJE including a fair few Gravik items some of the faults are obvious but on others I cant work out why it would be a second at all, the all steel hammers are the best deal for me even after shipping to England and import duties they are still about 40% cheaper than a new Vaughan from an online shop.
