Very well balanced. Light to swing, but delivers a lot of power. I love the claw, tears nails out of wood like nothing. I was setting trusses over a bowed slab yesterday and had to notch a lot of cap plates. After a couple of cuts into the plates, the hammer busted the notch out like an axe. Over strike protection is nice.

Only problem is that it is a large hammer, like most framing hammers are. When you get into a really tight spot you usually strike with the side of the hammer, but you can't do that with this hammer because the wood extends all the way up into the head.

All in all a great hammer for a good price.
