I don't know why, but I always need a hammer. I don't have one, so I always improvise, take a hammer, cut the tennis ball in half and cover the head, ruining the tennis ball and risking damaging my product. So I was very happy to see two of these hammers (handle same size, head two sizes). For the price they exceeded my expectations. They might as well be branded by a high-end manufacturer. Without the price you wouldn't notice the difference. If I had one thing to complain about, it would be the smell of rubber exhaust. I only smelled it because I wrapped the chicken breasts in foil and macerated them with a smaller mallet. But then again maybe I should buy a real meat tenderizer and stop improvising lol.
