Ask for money back

Use it the way it is

Or pay to have a new handle in

[Cedrictoad]

That is a bit naughty from SF (or the retailer... whomever decided to tack the handle back together)

You expect more... has OS offered anything in compensation?  Maybe a free pair of gloves or something to placate you?

I am waiting for them to get back to me as was really not happy when I found the nails I would hope they would do something as it should not be in the Handel

[Cedrictoad]

You are a bit of a regular with them so I would expect them to do something.

I am sure they don't want to create bad publicity on here so it would be in their best interests to make it right with you (and then chase SF for compensation in turn)

Maybe you should boycott SF... and sell me that Sapphire 

That would show them!

Knew I had seen it before:-

I'm pretty sure it's not the only time on this forum the nail in the handle topic has been posted.

I wonder if that was the same as mine it had a nail put in it in India

I found this exact thing on my woodworm flame. Were they made by the same people? Maybe a commen tactic between bat makers if the rubber and can fittings aren't quite perfect?

Most certainly not!

Cam the only reason I thought it was because it had that weird white powdery stuff under the twine as well which you see on a lot of Asian brands

I once bought a bat off nathrobbo with one in was gutted when I found it he never told me I have seen this before it defiantly a defect I asked the manufacturers if they did it they denied it.

Was the nail covering up a crack in the Handel like mine is I am really gutted as it's a huge bat and does sound so good off the mallet

Hi guys I bought a really nice bat the offer day from a well know source when I was knocking the bat in I decided to change the grip when I rolled the grip down I found to my horror a nail that has rusted in going though the Handle

I rehandle plenty of SF bats down here in Australia, and I must say its something I see quite often!!! I just did one just the other day but can't seam to find the old handle in my waste bin Next time I have an SF come through I will be sure to take a picture!! I normally spot the nail under the cloth tape which they place underneath the binding.... never seen one like this!

I have no idea why they do it.... not something you want to see. Hope they sort you our with some free kit!

Well that strikes SF off my bucket list. Lol.  Been watching so many reviews thinking they look good, but thats just dodgy workmanship.

[iand123]

I've always been interested in OS and others but things like this have always put me off. Glad you paid by PayPal as in theory you should be protected

[Northern monkey]

That's a really off putting experience Simon
Does make you think about purchasing online and especially from OS

Hope it gets sorted for you

[skip1973]

How does it affect performance?

[GarrettJ]

i'll ask dwayne smith to have a look if his SF has a nail in it
