This is a quality hammer with a larger size (for frames). It weighs 1 pound and feels balanced and feels good in hand. Its overall length is 15.5 inches. I like that it's forged from a single piece of steel so it doesn't break in the middle. It is double galvanized to prevent rust. A cross-shaped shading is engraved on the head to keep it from slipping off the nail. The handle is made of fiberglass, fixed with epoxy glue, with a comfortable rubber pad. Good choice.
