good solid hammer. The only criticism is that the handle is made of rubber. I'm a forklift mechanic with a fat job. I'm also strict with my tools. I haven't had any major problems with this hammer. Paint cracks from using the side of the hammer in hard-to-reach places and the handle is a little sticky from the hydraulic fluid and grease it's coated in, but it's a good hammer. In the future I'll probably take this hammer for household use (where I could keep it nice and nice) or for jobs that require a little less lubrication. Overall a good solid hammer.
