I was so upset I almost did exactly that. He said no, and that really he knew it was a hammer all along and that I shouldn't have wasted my money on an actual trumpet. I tried blowing in both ends of this thing, but neither one would work. It turns out he was glad to have an excuse to keep me out of band because in his words I, "don't actually play what is known as music." I am seeing a therapist about it now. My band teacher told me I was no good and that I should quit. I asked my band teacher if I could join again. We both had a really good laugh after that.

The valves don't move, and it really sounds horrible. Imagine the surprise when both my band teacher and I discovered that this wasn't a trumpet at all, but a hammer. The good news is I used the hammer to build a nice bird house. I got an actual trumpet shortly after.

I like to use it to hammer in nails. I suspect Stanley thinks if he makes his hammer that color they will stand out. Think about that next time you're making a hammer Stanley - if that's even your real name. I like the Stanley 51-621 16-ounce Curve Claw Fiberglass Hammer. But he might as well make them hot-pink because I'd rather people think I'm a sissy than a coward.

It is nice and sturdy with a fiberglass handle - yet still hefty, weighing about 16 ounces. It isn't heavily advertised, but the back side of the hammer, which is fashioned on a symbolic "claw" motif, can be used to pry out nails from a board if you don't hammer them in well the first time.It can also be used to drive in screws - but you really shouldn't do that. Stanley makes another tool for screws - which seems like a gyp that you'd need two tools for pushing metal into wood, but he's trying to make money. I don't know who Stanley is, but he makes a good hammer.The "yellow" color is a bit of a wuss-out.

Hey it's a hammer. But well worth the money. It's ok as far as hammers go. Better than a rock but don't confuse this with rocket science.

However, I thought I would put my 2 cents in, in case someone was looking to buy this.I like the hammer, I have two claw hammers. The grip is comfortable and makes hammering without any workgloves effortless.I have had this hammer about 5 years and I must say I am not disappointed in it at all. This may be do to a lighter fiberglass shaft, but I can easily compensate for it. In a way I feel weird reviewing a hammer, afterall it is a hammer. This one and a wood hammer. Would buy it again. This one seems a little top heavy to me.
