If one man, payed for this tool, will resist siege more efficiently then other one, who hasn't bought your shiny hammer... have you ever heard about pay2win?
In regards to Pay2Win,
see my earlier post here.
And no, to rebuild the person will have to waste the structure first - and there's no way a scenario would take place where the defender manages to rebuild a wall section, with or without a hammer, unless the raider was AFKing like some idiot, and even then it would still make more sense to KO the intruder first before attempting to rebuild. And how often is people online when a raid happens anyway? Will be a coincidence every time. So if it
won't affect repair and waste,
only construction, then I can't see how the speed bonus will be anything else then a convenience like similar tools of its kind, not something that can be abused to give benefits while defending or raiding.
