Each row is one full target, with the bonus the last hit adds. Gathering teas add to it. Hits assume you never hit the bonus marker. The Salvaged Hammer wastes part of every hit on ore nodes and trees and animals, so it gets less than the full amount there and those counts are averages. Compare every tool.
- Trees of one size give the same, so a row names every tree it covers. The Salvaged Hammer also cuts Large cactus, Large pile of driftwood, Log, Medium cactus, Medium pile of driftwood, Small cactus, Small pile of driftwood and Woodpile. Each page says what it gives.
- The Salvaged Hammer also mines the Satellite Remains and breaks the monument blockers.

Methodology
Tested in game: we gave the Salvaged Hammer to a player on our own server and used it on every ore node, the first three trees and every animal in the table above until it was empty, three times each, and counted the hits, the wear and every item it handed out. Time is the hits times the swing time. The other trees are worked out the same way from the health and wood we read from each tree on our server. Tested on the current version of Rust.
The Salvaged Hammer wastes too much of each hit to earn the last-hit bonus on ore nodes.
