The weight certainly helps when driving nails, although I'm used to the older, lighter, wooden-handled hammer. This hammer has a significant weight.

Fiskars offers various other weights if 20oz is too heavy or not heavy enough, including 16oz. a general purpose hammer with a milled head and a 22 ounce hammer. frame hammer.
