I was pleasantly surprised to receive my shirt as quickly as I did. Part of my job is the production of custom shirts (yes, I suppose I could have made my own, but that would have been wrong), so I know good quality when I see it. This was good quality.

Well, let’s just say I have every hammer imaginable and was only dreaming that my swings were doing anything. After a few good swings with this hammer, the steel not only moves but moves exactly where I want it to. I am still a novice, but sure wished I would’ve started with this hammer from the beginning. Great hammer, quality workmanship and I love it. Thanks Alec’s - Baldzilla’s Metal Worx S. Georgia

They look great, and hard-wearing! Unfortunately I need one size bigger, the guys couldn't have made the process easier. I'm super grateful for their help and friendly manner. Great service, great product! Thanks

After going through many pairs of torn up pants, I decided to finally get these for my metal fab work. I am very satisfied with the quality and durability of these, and I think they'll hold up for quite a while.

The shipping department had a little mix-up and lost my original order. After getting that squared away , I received my pants. I realized I had ordered the wrong size. They were super nice about it and promptly sent a return shipping label, and the rest was easy. The actual product is simply the best pair of work pants I've ever owned. I will be ordering more work pants soon.

So far I’ve bought 2 pairs for me. 2 separate occasions. And two pairs fit a friend who really liked mine. I wear them in my shop (1 pair) and the other to work, I work in an office on Park Ave in Manhattan. They are perfect in both situations.

By far the best work pants I've ever had. Comfortable and keep me warm during winter. Will definitely recommend to anybody who's willing to spend little bit more than average to get the best quality. I wish they will make short version for those who live in hot climate :D

The splinter 2 is THE BEST box cutter I’ve ever had the privilege of holding. More times than not I’ve needed to get a box open in a hurry, life or death scenarios mind you. Now with the splinter I never have to worry about making holes in objects quickly and effectively, you don’t even know you’re wearing it, but if you need it, it’s there. In times where I am unable to keep my wireless hole puncher handy, the splinter picks up the slack. The biggest downfall I’ve experienced with the splinter ...

Little bumpy to start with when they sent me the wrong size and color; but after another week or so I got the return slip and was able to exchange the incorrect pair of pants for the one I ordered. The 01 G1 fit well and while they are a little stiff to begin with they break in quickly. The front pockets are very deep and spacious enough to let you dig through all the things you put in them and find the one thing you are looking for. They have good mobility and sturdy stitching. Time will tel...

Great material and stitched well. Suggestions; 1) Have a second layer of material at the base of the hip-pocket where many would keep a pocket knife. The constant pull and put-back of a pocket knife causes a lot of where & tear in that area. 2) The phone pocket inside the right-side cargo pocket is too tight (obviously this depends on the phone model so that has to be hard to navigate a relative correction but just conveying input) Been a long time fan and I appreciate the Steele platform & prod...

Great customer service, great products. My son loves the 2x48 grinder, and with this stand he can do just about anything he needs to do with it. Absolute win! He's 15 and self taught in blacksmithing and welding. Does my heart good to see him so productive and ambitious at a young age. Having good tools and equipment make him even happier to be in his shop! Keep making good products, I'm sure we'll be back soon!

This is my second pair of these pants. THe fit is excellent and designed well for movement. They are a bit expensive but they last long and are repairable, if you have some sewing skill. The customer service is quite good and here’s an example of that: I had ordered a pair and, as I tracked the shipping, they just dead ended in the ‘on route’ category. I gave it a couple of weeks and they reached out to Alex Steele and, without being treated like I was trying to scam them out of a pair of pants,...

Excellent fit. Of all the work wear pants I've used these are the best designed with intelligent useful features. I expect them to last based on the quality and construction details. My new favorites. Will be purchasing more in the near future.

Came in with the waist a bit tight, especially after wash. However the waist has stretched out a bit and is very comfortable. The perfect pants for my field work as a biologist. Love the deep pockets!

Great stuff! I haven’t been Abe to use it yet do to having major surgery just days after receiving my steel. It will be several months before I get to pick up my hammer.

Looks great. I just received it. The ups guy lost the first one. Alec and his tram sent a replacement the very next business day. They sent it two day air also. I was very impressed by this. It’s not common to have such good customer service these days.

Alex was my inspiration to start knife making a couple of years ago. His hammer is like chalk and cheese compared to the lumpy and ballpean hammers that i have been using.

I've been looking for the 3.5 lb hammer for awhile, but it's been out of stock. I was concerned the 4.5 lb would be more than I needed, but went ahead and purchased. First time using it, and I love it.

I bought a gift card for my little brother's birthday present. He can't wait to use it! He works part time at a welding shop and has his own setup in our garage. He's a big fan of Alec! Thanks!

Great service! After it arrived I realized I'd need to up the size and thus wrote an email to ask customer support about the return process. I received a response quickly telling me they'd send a new product without extra charge since they aren't accept returns at the moment, which I suspect is due to covid, anyways...Great customer support and service! Thank you!

C'est marteaux est un peut lourd mais la prise en main est excellente. De plus il est arrivé en peu de temps . Par contre faite attention a ups qui vous facturera les droits de douane avant de vous remettre votre colis. Perso j'en ai eu pour 70€.

There is usually never a great way to secure the anvil in our shop which does not allow for great work ability, but with this new anvil stand our anvil will now be secure and we are so excited to get to hammer away - thank you! Additionally, the quality of the stand is great!

Benjamin G.

The grinder is great and assembly isn’t bad at all. I do wish the pivot that the platen screws to was keyed in somehow instead of just relying on the pressure of a single bolt to keep from spinning. If it loosens the belt could contact the tool rest and break.

I've found this to be a very comfortable and well balanced hammer. It's well made and is holding up to everything I've thrown against it so far. If I could recommend any change at all, it would be to forgo charring the handle. I picked it up and immediately my hand was black. I ended up sanding it to knock off the worst of it. A nice tung oil finish would have been more appreciated.

So I wanted to wait till I had worked in them a few times prior to writing this review. They're sturdy, comfortable, and the belt loops are thick. First wear even after washing was ridged, comfortable, but definitely ridged. I've worn them a few times these last few weeks and I will be purchasing another pair so I'm not without when they're in the wash.

The most robust, and sturdy pants I've ever owned. If you're wondering what sturdy pants are like, buy a pair of these. Comfortable and very tough. Will buy more pants.

Peter M.

I have positive and negative thoughts on this surface grinder. Positive: well built, little to no excessive play in the slide system, the adjustment for the setup is solid and easy to use. Negative: the holder for the dial caliper is 3D printed and the hole is to small to accept the caliper, ended up making one. For the price I would expect the magnet to be a on/off instead of a permanent. I will be changing it out in the future.

Strap On Surface Grinder

Jordan B.

PROS: These pants are definitely heavy durable fabric. The pockets are placed so that kneeling with pliers in them don't quickly poke through. The stitching is tough. Belt loops are placed and sewn on well. They are easy to move/kneel in with the crotch design. The main hand pockets are tipped at the correct angle to allow fairly easy access while sitting, but not tipped so much that things fall out when sliding underneath a car or something. The price. For what they are and the quality.. you ju...

Bombproof, since they have arrived I have basically kicked the ass out of them... from grinding, to lathe and mill work to a bunch of cement Apart from some minor stains these pants come out of the wash perfect everytime I will be buying more and my Carhartts will get thrown away

Fabulous hammer, very well balanced, perfect proportions between the length and shape of the handle and the size of the head. The wooden handle is even perfumed, it smells like it wants to go out on a date. Museum piece.

Full time farrier I got myself two pair of the Steele pants and I’m in love so comfy! & Durable! Absolutely outstanding quality couldn’t be happier. Hope to one day meet them

Marc M.

These pants are very well made. The fit is perfect and they are as tough as they are comfortable. I love the deep pockets all around and the angled flaps on the cargo pockets make it easy to access and organize for you favourite small tool, pencil/marker, or whatever else you like storing in there throughout the day! I would recommend these pants to anyone looking for value in a quality work pant.

I'm just starting to use the correctly shaped hammer and so far it moves the hot steel easier than a hammer that I tried to make into a rounding hammer

It took a little getting used to, but I live my square/ circle hammer. I have been wanting to get one since Alec first produced them in the UK. I hope to get a 2.5 lb and 4.5 lb next

Overall, the Splinter 2.0 is awesome! The only issue I had with it, was the carry clip. It is quite long and can get in the way of the draw, but I replaced it with an Ulticlip. The sheath is great, the knife came sharp, and ready for action.

I'm newer to making knives and kept screwing up my blocks of exotic wood. I took a shot at trying a hidden tang a few times and failed miserably. This tool (while simple) really let's you get the right kind of fit. Good job guys!

I bought this tool to use when o make knife handles. It works and cuts cleanly and precisely in both exotic woods and also Deer antler and Stag horn. I use blocks of wood and Bali bone carved antlers for my knives. This is a must tool for any knife maker etc... Peter

I bought this for my grandson who is into forging big time. He has built his own forge and picked up things at garage sales etc to have all the right equipment. He finished this knife and it looks beautiful and he loved working on it. Thanks for making it available for young people like him. I can try to send a picture whenever I can get one from him.

I ordered the 2.5Lb Hammer just before Christmas and it was delivered to me in Perth Western Australia on 04/01/22. A very quick turn around! The finish on the hammer cannot be faulted and I am looking forward to breaking it in on my new Anvil. A very happy customer! Keep up the excellent work guys... Darryl.J (Perth)
