I agree. When I see someone splitting concrete of something with a geological hammer I want to cry. THATS NOT WHAT ITS INTENDED FOR. Using it in that way shows incompetence, and thinking you are so awesome that you film it and put it on the net would be offensive to me.

Now excuse me while I get back to using the edge of my laptop to open beer bottles.

Actually, back in the days of prospecting for pelagic greensands and manganese nodules - we'd (quite competently) open the beers with the rock hammer. Then, we'd launch SCUBA cylinders off the boat with a sledge hammer.

Ah, "science"...
