Salvaged Hammer repair cost

Repair bench, from broken: 10 Metal Fragments,
1 High Quality Metal

Needs the blueprint: Yes
Max condition lost: 20% from broken, less on lighter damage
Max condition: 500

A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.

Salvaged Hammer recycling

What the Salvaged Hammer gives back in each recycler

Recycler	Efficiency	You get
Red recycler	75%	37 + 50% Metal Fragments, 75% Metal Pipe
Green recycler (powered)	60%	30 Metal Fragments, 60% Metal Pipe
Green recycler	50%	25 Metal Fragments, 50% Metal Pipe
Yellow recycler	40%	20 Metal Fragments, 40% Metal Pipe

The Salvaged Hammer breaks down into Metal Fragments and Metal Pipe.

A recycler takes one at a time.

Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.

Salvaged Hammer crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Salvaged Hammer in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 30 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.

How Salvaged Hammer compares to related tools in Rust

When comparing Salvaged Hammer against related tools in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.
