Based on my experience, this hammer did not live up to its claims as an effective tool for brick woodwork. The pros of the hammer were its sturdy design and comfortable grip which made it easy to handle .However, the cons outweighed the pros as the hammer's performance was simply subpar. In addition, the price of this product was significantly higher compared to similar hammers in the Industrial and Scientific category, making it a poor investment..
Pros
Ergonomic design allows for comfortable grip
Cons
Relatively heavier weight may cause fatigue with prolonged use
I'm a mason and this is by far the best brick hammer I've owned. Light weight for splitting bricks, splitting blocks and crushed artificial stone. I'll buy a few more in case someone mounts mine on a log wall and breaks the core!
Pros
TRIPLE WEDGE HEAD TO HANDLE ASSEMBLY: Securely attaches the hammer head to the handle
