As a metalsmith, i always need reliable tools that can handle tough jobs .The Brass Hammer I recently purchased ticks all the boxes with its heavy-duty construction and comfortable grip. As a result of using this product I found that it was easier to work with difficult metals and my accuracy has improved. The cons are that the price is a bit steep, but considering the quality and longevity of this hammer, it`s a solid investment. I highly recommend this Industrial and Scientific hand tool for any metalsmith or jeweler looking for a durable and efficient hammer..
