Just got this hammer and so far I like it. As mentioned in other reviews, this hammer absolutely disappears in your tool belt. If you carry a hammer with you every day, you will appreciate it many times over, I promise. Initially, I was concerned about its ability to ride fasteners, as well as my 16-ounce steel Dewalt; Those fears went away after I drove in the first nail. I felt the Stiletto hammered nails faster and easier than my previous hammer, no question. This will probably be the only hammer I carry as a carpenter from now on. I am very happy. Can't speak to its durability yet, although I expect it to be reliable and will be updated if it isn't.
