I needed a small hammer for my office. It's of little use, but sometimes I just need a hammer for something small, and I don't want to go into the closet where the tools are. I didn't want to take up too much space either. It was the perfect compromise. I've used it quite a bit and it's comfortable and does the job. Hanging on the wall, it also looks quite chic. It wouldn't be great for everyday use - I'd like a full-size hammer for that. But for occasional use, it can be ideal.
