I bought this hammer because I lost one that I have used for 50 years. This new hammer is of high quality and beautifully finished. I use it for drive pin work and other light work. I wanted a hammer that size, not some lighter hammer heads as I'm used to using this size hammer for blacksmithing. I picked this hammer for the build quality. The brass head is perfectly shaped and firmly connected to the hammer handle. This is a good product and I gave it a 5 star rating. This is a quality instrument and I'm glad I bought it. I used it recently when I was working on installing new scopes on a Glock pistol and it didn't damage the action so I bought it. I have used this hammer several times. Mal and I like how it's balanced and the head is securely attached to the handle.
