Dont buy an all enclosing hammer holster like this one, its very difficult to hurt yourself on a hammer sitting tightly to your waist. Mine was warped so badly as to be nearly unuseable. Everybody's holster, the same make and model as this one, broke except for mine. By the end of the trip, I had to rip the holster open with both hands, or just leave it open and hope I didnt lose my hammer in the process. I have one of these holsters for my Estwing Rock Hammer. When I and some others went to field camp, most of us had holsters like this one attached to our belts so we could draw them out frequently for gathering samples, making fresh rock surfaces, or use in climbing. The snaps on this holster are also badly placed, since when you try to unsnap them, they simply lift the hammer upwards without coming undone.
Still a good accessory to have to store your rock hammer. Of course, for sellers it's better for you to use this sheath. use the Rock Hammer Holster for Pointed Tip or Chisel Edge Estwing Hammerlock Pick Holster (HH2). until you lay it down and walk away. I find it hard to line up the handle with the hole then tilt the tip in, then rotate the rock hammer into the sheath and finally, with one hand snap the snaps closed.
An all to common story I hear. It's cheaper and it's easy to get the rock hammer in and out of when you're in the field, and it keeps your rock hammer on your hip where you want it. After the sheath has been used awhile and after you get used to using them they're only OK. When new this sheath is only very difficult to use in the field. My recommendation.
You'll get so frustrated using it that you eventually just carry the rock hammer.
The snaps close without a problem for me. This works well for my pointed Estwing pick. Cheap and functional.
THe sheath is okay but it has 2 snaps. once the 1st snap is on the other is quite difficult to click on either the snap is out of alignment or the snap is just DANG hard to press.not sure.I can live with it.
