I bought this to help with framing - getting wall headers and footers in place during remodeling when I didn't have room for a large slide to swing around. It's not so heavy that you can't use it for long periods of time, and it packs a significant punch. I also use this with a cold chisel to break up small sections of concrete. Great mini slide! There is practically no vibration on the handle. I think it will stay in the toolbox for many years.
