Bought this hammer to keep in my work truck tool box. I wasn't expecting much for the price, but for under $20 I didn't really have much to lose. I was very impressed with the hammer and actually put it in my shop tool box where it is used regularly. Reviews that this is not the best hammer for leatherworking are probably true. I use it for punches and chisels, knocking out rusty brakes etc and it's holding up great.
