It's not just for pounding nails! [Posted on 2004-09-06]
This hammer is awesome! I can use it to nail something if I want, and this pounds it in with good force, but it's good for so much more. When I need to find a stud, I whip it out, and hit the wall until I hear the stud on the other side. The claw can pull nails too. I love the feel of the handle in my hand. The rubber has a comfortable feel, and I can really get a good grip on the handle. Nobody ever picks a fight with someone who is holding a hammer. I have one in my car too. Be very careful though. If you hit your finger with it when you're swinging, it will hurt a lot. Make sure your aim is true and keep your swinging velocity at a safe level. I LOVE hammers. This hammer made an excellent addition to my collection. So if you have this hammer, you know how I feel, and it is a part of you. If you don't have a hammer yet, buy this one. It will become something very special you will cherish for a very long time.

Best hammer ever...agreed! [Posted on 2007-08-16]
I am a carpenter with 20 plus years under the toolbelt.....and I gotta agree w/ the other reviewer. Awesome hammer....my first one I still own and my son bought me another one for my b/day. The old one (about 20 years old is almost as good as the new one). I retrieved the first one after losing it in a four foot deep pole barn hole full of muck...it took at least 15 minutes of hard mucking to get it back (with a wire on a stick) and that was 15 years ago. Perfect balance, design and the fiberglass handle hasn't broken and keeps my carpel tunnel syndrome at bay.

I wish Amazon had the titanium version of this if it exists?
