I Built the ULTIMATE Trapping Hammer (DIY)

After years of searching for the perfect hammer I finally made one that suits all my needs and will last a lifetime.

Hey Stu, i think it would be cool if you remade your skinning, fleshing, and boarding series. Since you have new camera gear and stuff.

Good job. Just a thought. Be nice to have a magnet on it as well to use to pick up a dropped/loses in the leafs staple.

Stu, the digging part of the hammer also helps getting up a steep creek bank when you hook a sapling with it.

I can totally appreciate this video. I just spent the day toting a 8lbs sledgehammer because I couldn't find the small one. Lol

The beginning of this video is exactly how I feel with everything! Just reinventing the damn wheel because I hate packing stuff around and beer mixed with a Tig welder = either greatness or annoyed wife haha

[carythorne]

Great idea, just got to go pick up a new brick hammer at the store. And tig welding is the only way for this to stay together.

Excellent bro! I still have my 22oz estwing framer from the 80’s! It’s a smooth face now 🙃 ! Those used to be made in Rockford Illinois. Great vids man thank you!

I like how he picked up all the staples

You should try to make a hammer with different attachments that can be swapped out easily. You could carry a Handel and have a variety of heads that could be stored without having to deal with a Handel.

That's a nice little set thanks for showing it off

I have built a couple i went with an estwing standard brick hammer with a piece of 6 inch schedule 40 stainless pipe for digging last year but my new version is going to a 28oz framing hammer with a straight blade for digging trap beds. I dont need a sledge hammer usually i just leave it in the truck. Im making a video on it soon. I just uploaded my better trapping trowel video. Modifying and making better trapping tools never stops bud. Great design and great video i might add the hook to my hammer at some point because ive said im going to use fence staples for a while but i never do i will grab a box this season. Thanks for the info bud.

Love your videos, you are the main reason I’m getting back into trapping after being out several years

[jlcubc]

Thanks! Awesome video! I've been thinking about making my own and low and behold you made a how to video. I hope you will do a follow up video featuring the two handed sledge. Thanks again, I really enjoy your videos.

[TheRealBobMills]

Good video. Unique and functional tool. Thanks!

[Boldo]

That's a great idea and a handy tool. God Bless

[coltensallazzo]

Looks good man. Ive always been a fan of the ground hog 3 in 1 hammer

[jackofalltrapping]

I broke the handle last season on my Estwing. Hurt like hell !! I welded black pipe on it for a new handle. Seems to be holding up nicely. Thanks for sharing.

[jonesboyshunting]

Great job man that thing is awesome. Keep up the great work.

[joshcarter]

Thats a great tool to have on the line.

I have the first one but a small shovel at the bottom to dig a dirt hole (for trapping )
