Can we talk about how I thought a $20 cross-peen hammer was just a gimmick?
I bought one on a whim from a flea market in Springfield, and after forging a simple leaf keychain with it, the control for spreading metal was way better than my regular ball-peen. My buddy, who's been at it for fifteen years, just laughed and said 'told you so' when I showed him the results. Has anyone else had a tool they wrote off completely change their mind after actually trying it?

But is it really about the tool or just learning how to use it right? I used my old hammer for years before I got what it could actually do. Sometimes a new thing feels better because you're paying more attention. Maybe the real trick is just giving any tool a real chance.

Wait, you used the same hammer for years and never knew what it could do, @the_margaret?
