This tiny little hammer is great for picture framing and applications where you don't want to damage what you're hammering. However, after 10-15 uses I notice that my head is loose. I wasn't happy with that. This hammer is built like an old-fashioned hammer: a wooden handle on a metal head, and the only thing holding it together is a tight wooden seat. Next time I buy one of these it will be a solid banger. I hate saying "next time I'll buy" when it comes to a tool
