So I'm more than an Estwing fanatic - I've lost count of how many of their hammers I have. This is at least a dozen different models and styles. I *LOVE* this hammer! It's so easy to hit with a hammer *FUN*! Of course, if you want to smash something, this isn't the right tool for the job, but seriously, for over $100, who would use this hammer for a job this rough? I have (a few) other hammers that I use for stuff like this. The point is, if you love hammers, you'll love this one too. Estwing got it!
