beautiful! Very good! Everything about this hammer is positive. The side nail puller works great in those hard-to-reach places, the magnetic nail launcher gives more reach for hard-to-drive nails, and this hammer seems to have a nice "ring" when it hits an object. I wish they didn't varnish those leather handles. Lacquer is easier to scratch and stain. I think a light oil or wax finish would be more appropriate. Supplement: The rivet heads at the end of the handle have been worn out for 4 years. They no longer fit exactly, so the leather pieces can come loose. I was a bit disappointed with what I thought was a quality hammer. The number of stars has been reduced based on this experience.
