handle too small for the hands of a man or woman with large hands. This makes head control difficult and creates an awkward balance. It would be good for light work like hanging pictures and the quality is good as expected from Stanley. For a finishing hammer, there is a better choice, such as: B. the Vaughan 7 oz. with a regular size grip for better control and balance. I ordered the Vaughan from Home Depot for only $7.98 to replace the Stanley.
