I didn't realize one end was rounded and the other end was flat. The round ones can be good for breaking up concrete, but I use them with wood splitting wedges and prefer flat ones on both sides. Instead of figuring out which end I use every time I pick up a tool, I settled on a different brand that's flat on both sides. This item also replaced an old handyman that broke on mine and since their warranty kind of took a backseat I figured I'd go with the Husky instead.
