Review on Fiskars Crafts Precision Hammer - Model 132400 1001 by Mario Beckwith

I have never owned a 12 oz. Hammer out believe it or not. Never have I ever spent a dime on hammers. All my hammers are used or scrapped. Therefore they were all 16 oz. or heavier; great for driving large nails and even demolition (mine weighs 3 pounds). I have not scorned light hammers - I just never had them. I used my regular big hammers for everything. From 10p to tiny staples, the hammer I have is the hammer I use. Well, now I "caught" this "precision" hammer. I suspect this is the best choice for most things I do around the house. I like to use this hammer for nailing up to 8p, even hardwood when pre-drilled. , cut off at the top. I can assume that the neckline design is meant to improve the balance somehow; I have no opinion on that. It is also pretty. Of course I love that the tools are beautiful, but performance comes first. The semi-circular face confused me, but thanks to reviewer Richard S. Drew, I now know that this sculpted head can drive a nail closer to a wall or other obstacle. Fiskars always makes comfortable grips. The handle doesn't necessarily have to be lighter than many wooden handles, but the gray part is a bit softer. h is good for use in tight spaces - not so much with large nails and where you have more space. There is a hole for you to hang it up. The orange and white rim is just the color of creamy ice cream, which is hardly relevant but makes you hungry.
