Save Money, Buy Something Else. Unless you're using it for something that requires the slightest amount of pressure. I bought it when I started making some leather projects. Too light weight. Not in a good way. You have to rock, really stagger and sob SO MANY TIMES to make it work. Which increases the chance of missing and hitting hands. But don't worry as it doesn't weigh enough to do any permanent damage to your hands, it will only hurt and you will decide never to buy a hammer based on how it "looks" like it will work , and based on weight .
