Marvel Thor 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.

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.

Looks good with all the design details and the color

Before I received this hammer, I was a basement dwelling low life nerdy guy programmer. But when the mjolnir deemed me worthy I transformed into a majestic being, soaring over the city condescending on everyone who does not posses the same magnitude of power as me. Women of all nationalities want me as all men from every corner of the world wants to be me.But serious: I like the hammer, but its kind of heavy for a key chain ornament, I would not recommend putting it on the same keychain as the key that you use to start your car ignition. As for the material that the key is made out of, its some kind of metal, not plastic. It seems to be very sturdy. One last thing it has ingraving on two side one side reads : "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy shall posses the power of Thor." The other side has the marvel logo.

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...

Heavier than I thought

Cool keychain, very detailed and has above quote on it (minus the keychain part). only had it for a few days so hopefully it holds together. Feels sturdy so far and is not as big as people make it out to be. Don't get me wrong its not small but its not unreasonably large or anything. After all it is a replica of thors hammer.....Update on durability, dropped my keys once and the hammer portion is now freely rotating around on the handle. I feel it's only a matter of time before it falls off. Still a cool keychain but certainly not very durable
