MarvelThor Hammer Pewter Key Ring,Grey-light

I took a bit of chance on this one after reading a number of negative reviews about quality of the Thor's Hammer Pewter Key Ring. My own experience was very different than those complaints. The hammer is solid enough that you're tempted to use it for personal defense. (I'm only half joking - it has some weight to it). One side of the hammer's head reads, "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall posses, the power of... THOR" and the other side has the Marvel logo and manufacturing information. There's absolutely zero play between the hammer's head and the handle (they're tightly joined) and there's a surprising amount of detail to the piece.All of the dimensions listed by the vendor are off - in some cases by quite a bit given its small size. The hammer is just over 3" in length and the hammer's head is almost 1.5" across. If you stretch it out and measure it from extended clasp to the tip of the hammer, it's 4.5". That's 3+ x 1.5 x 4.5, not 3 x 1 x 5.5. It's also not 1.6 ounces; the hammer itself (without any packaging) weighs in at 2.4 ounces. While that may seem like nitpicking (as you're getting more hammer and less key ring than anticipated), it really makes a difference if you're expecting to actually use it as a key ring.I'm very happy with the purchase and the photos really don't do the hammer justice. It may be marketed as a key ring, but the hammer itself is actually longer than any of my keys. I haven't attached my keys to it and, given its size, quality, and solidity/weight, I'm actually thinking about hanging it from my rearview mirror instead. Since I'm a big Thor fan, I'm totally fine with that but I can't imagine that it would be anything other than extremely awkward if you tried to carry it in your pocket. I'm giving it five stars based purely on its quality (its very solid) and design (it looks really cool) but in practice, Thor's hammer was an odd choice for a key chain. That said, I would recommend it to any fan of Thor as it's a great piece at an inexpensive price.

Looks good with all the design details and the color

Heavier than I thought

I asked my self am i worthy to pick up the hammer? well at first i wasn't hears my story, i was coming home from work one day right, went to pick up my mail my usual when i come home, going through my mailbox i managed to pick up everything from the mailbox execpt for this hammer, im thinking hmmm why cant i pick this 4 inch hammer this is nutz, i tryed everything and still nothing, saw an old lady outside so i decided to go help her cross the street still not worthy so i went back and i robbed her for wasting my time, still nothing until i went to church and confessed my sins of all the wrong i did in life i even got the popes blessing and then a miracle happened by the odins beard i was able to lift the hammer i went back to church and i used the hammer on the preist because after i confessed he tried making a move on me. alot of thunder came crashing through the bulding to give this perv a shock of a life time. and i spun the hammer and flew out of there and to this day i still hold the hammer.

Ive purchased 2 already , the design is perfect , it is a heavy one so take that in consideration , it can take the scratches perfectly and looks amazin , I gave it a 3 stars because the head of the hammer eventually starts to wiggle until it falls off, so you will have a cool keychain for atleast a year (depending on your use) but again , is not that expensive and looks awesome , Im willing to get a few more

While it totally deserves a 5-star rating, Im giving it a 4 because I wont be able to wear it around, which was my first intention. Why, simply because its too big and heavy for a key ring you wanna carry in your pants pockets. Ok, its of excellent quality, seems durable, nice weight, engraving looks great and everything, in short, big fan of marvel anyway, but for decoration and/or collectible purposes, not for carrying it around all day long. It would have been nice if the size and weight would have been clear in the description. It measures around 3 1/4 in long x 1 1/2 in wide x 3/4 in deep, just the hammer part, and weighs about say a bit less than half a pound, maybe less, cant tell right now... On the other hand, I think its perfect for keys that you dont wanna lose or you wanna be able to spot them from the distance...

Okay, i'll make the review simple and submit a picture.The item came perfectly wrapped and easy to open and have not had any quality issues. I know some buyers have said the hammer is not a solid metal construction. They're correct, it's two parts connected on the hammer itself but not detectable until you actively look for it. This in now way takes away from the quality construction or heaviness of it. It feels like a premium item, has weight, looks nice and I already had a guy at the counter who saw it try to "lift" the hammer and played around not being able to. I know they have a newer version wrapped in faux leather, but I wanted the pure metal design. The hammer has enough weight on it that it could possibly crack a car window and the two connected portions are not detectable unless you're picky and looking for it. They are both solid pieces and even has a small hook to add keystrings or another keychain.
