If a sledgehammer is a "broad sword" then this little beauty is a "scalpel". I'm demolishing a small building, which requires more than just a hammer, but not a sledgehammer. This three-pound beast is the perfect middle ground for that problem. It has enough weight to split boards or drywall, but not too much if you take out the target by scattering wood and/or nails everywhere. Don't even make me blow up the drywall... Speaking of drywall, it punches a nice hole without splitting the drywallโฆ
