And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Estwing 3lb shown- IS solid gold for performance and balance by adult. I have had mine for breaking, cobbing, trimming all types of rock for at least 10 years. Maybe 12? STILL good shape and smashing stuff 4 lb is awkward off balance and wrings my wrist. Have one and dislike it a lot lol! Nahhh, a BFH is 20 lbs or more! I do geology/mining. I also run a 16 lb.(no 20+ for me :)- YES--Heavy beast will crack big rock a 12lb or less will just keep bouncing off until YOU wear out. An older and bigger guy** than me told me the truth on that! ...I started at 10, then later a 12, have plateaued at 16. **(Old boy had a 30lb he made. I never tried it. NO thanks Big Dave. Not making a fool of myself with your monster :) ~@JOGeol
