It hammers nails very well, has a large head that is a short distance (compared to what I'm used to) from the handle so hammering toenails in the inner corner takes some time getting used to, even the claws are a bit small. Works well for pistol nails and 8d, but a 16d hand crank is hard to grab when the nail head is closer than 1/2 the stock. I also wish the claw was a little more curved for leverage, and it rolls around in my pockets as the tool claw rubs hard on my pocket. Nice and powerful for a light hammer, can hammer a 16d nail in 2 hits
