I'm a carpenter and I deburr molds with my 19oz wooden handled Vaughan. So I bought this hammer and quickly realized that although the head is very small, it's very light, almost ridiculous, but since I only use it for driving nails and stakes, it works quite well. Also don't expect the fancy color to last more than a week, mine already looks like a regular hammer and I've only used it 6 or 7 times.
