This is awesome. It does everything you want in a hammer. Excellent hold. Excellent cushioning. After a while I feel like it's going to be a bit difficult, but I'm still new to the life of a housewife so take that with a grain of salt. Acquired specifically for"tooth". Great feature if you have a warped board that needs straightening before repairing. All in all a great all-purpose hammer. Do yourself a favor and take this one.
