I purchased this 2 pound freewheel hammer for use on a variety of woodworking and assembly projects. I used to rely on a basic rubber mallet and think this hammer is a good upgrade. A direct impact significantly reduces the "bounce" and directs the energy precisely to the workpiece. Polyurethane is strong but soft enough not to damage the work piece. In hindsight, 2 pounds is a bit too heavy for light assembly tasks. So this is a quality hammerless hammer with an excellent warranty. Bonus points for doubling the bright orange maraca.
