 hammer January 12, 2007
The handle broke away from the head the first day I used it, I was very disappointed in the quality of the hammer.
 Excellent Finnish Hammer January 1, 2007
I'm a full time finish carpenter. This is the hammer I used for years till they came out with titanium hammers. This is the best hammer for the price for actually driving nails: lots of hammers get used for general knock around use. Here's what to look for in a carpenter's hammer-
1. Wood handle to absorb shock. Nothing else works, and your elbow will pay for it otherwise. You WILL have to occasionally reshim the head to keep it tight. Quick fix is to screw 1" sheetmetal screws into top.
2. Broad face close to handle and ripping claw for good balance and ease of driving nails. It's just physics.
3. Sharp edges on inside of claw for gripping nails you are pulling. Only pull nails by rocking side to side, or you'll break the handle.
4. Hatchet handle for good ergonomics. Hard to explain, but after a week or two you get it.
Dead On also makes a natural finish handle model with a chromed head that is virtually identical.
bad balance July 5, 2006

The wood handle is too short. This hammer has a balance problem. It is uncomfortable to swing. I have 35 years experience in carpentry.
