This thing made me laugh when I opened the box. I thought it was a regular hammer size but no! this one is about half the size. It's almost pathetic as I always use my dad's heavy duty screwdrivers and such, but they get the job done and the extra Russian screwdrivers are a plus. But for only $6 it's a good buy. I'll see how long it lasts. Edit: I just noticed that the "toothed" end of the hammer isn't slanted toward av, but is shaped more like au; how should i pull my nails out Since hammers are used to drive in nails and such the paint/design will peel off but I don't care. But it is important that the grip is very loose after a few strokes. If I don't retighten the handle, the hammer will probably fly off somewhere.
