Review on BTSKY® Hammer Leathercraft Carving Stamping Leather by Hannah Curi

WOW! I am very happy with this little sledgehammer. As many other reviewers have repeatedly pointed out, it feels great in the hand and is worth the money for the leatherwork. Some remarks on its construction; The total weight of the hammer is 11.1 ounces, with 9.7 ounces in the head. This means that when you strike, most of the weight is on you. The short handle and the way it's held makes it feel comfortable and controlled when in use. I've had a couple of good hits on my quartz countertop and haven't felt anything snap off or fly away so it seems pretty solid. Just understand that this is a "precision" tool designed for instrumental and light work. While you can certainly install rivets and latches, it's still easy. It does not have enough weight to do heavy work such as B. using hole punches or chiseling through leather weighing 9 ounces or more. But when it comes to detailing, I could use it for hours without getting tired or sick. If this is your first time looking for a sledgehammer for leatherwork, I would definitely recommend it.
