Overall a great hammer. The claw is great for grabbing staples over Romex. The only thing that kept it from getting 5 stars is that it's awkward to use at first when you're used to regular hammers with shorter heads. I understand the purpose of the extended face, but it was very different from what I'm used to, so it's not really the hammer's fault. This way you can really hammer staples into studs without breaking your fingers and get those hammered staples out from your fellow electricians. As I said, overall a great hammer.
