I bought this hammer at a very good price from the marketplace seller so can't complain about the price. Although it doesn't have a magnet function, it was a bit smaller than the GEDORE 75 STM version. Generally it is a standard European carpenter's hammer, but although made by a German company, this particular hammer belongs to their sub-class and is made in India. Would recommend if you have a very good deal under the hammer but it's not worth a full retail sale. There are real German and American hammers that are better if you are willing to pay a price close to the retail price of this hammer.
