The phrase in it's complete form, "I am not a number, I am a free man", is from a very unusual television show of British origin which aired first in 1967 in the U.S. The show was called, "The Prisoner" and starred Patrick McGoohan.
The line can be heard here, in the beginning of the show. The entire program appears to be available on youtube and I recommend it highly, despite it's age.

Many people believe, and I count myself in that group, that The Prisoner was essentially an extension of a television show McGoohan previously starred in called ,"Secret Agent", in the U.S. and ," Danger Man", elsewhere. This theory is supported by the last lyric in the Secret Agent theme song," They're giving you a number, and taking away your name". This figures prominently in "The Prisoner" where all the characters in the show are referred to only by numbers.
The show enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in the eighties when the local public television station in the S.F. area resurrected it and showed all the episodes again along with a separate 1/2 hour program discussing each episode, much like,"Talking Dead", does today. The Prisoner is an astonishingly good program which bears watching even today, 50 years after it first aired.
All that said, the hammer you are considering buying would be a poor candidate for converting into a rounding hammer. If you want to do that, you should probably start with an Engineers hammer, something like this:

although clearly, you should look for one somewhat lighter than the one in my link. In the U.S., Harbor Freight sells one that would be very good for this purpose. This one would be a great starting point:
