impulse buy and maybe I haven't found all the right uses yet but so far I still prefer my trusty old rawhide hammer for straightening metal. I probably thought it could create a little less clutter, but I'm not sure if that's really the case or if I had smudge issues initially. It seems to bounce more. I don't think my rawhide is weighted internally with lead, so maybe just the different density of the material is causing the rebound. Well done though.
