Such a Disappointment...

I was trying out a new implement that I recently bought from Lover's Lair, in Lynnwood WA (not too far from Seattle). I'd been told many good things about this store, and since I spent quite a bit of time there that night, the clerk came and talked with me quite a bit. He had recommended this one, however on the very first HARD strike, the tip went flying off much to my dismay.  Granted you can still use it, however with the tip missing, it just wasn't as much of a fun toy anymore.  I also don't appreciate my tools falling apart on me during a session.  Later I found the top & you can screw it back on...however I have lost faith in it & find it quite disappointing...
