I use a rawhide hammer for my leatherworking hobby. It was great, it did the job, but sometimes it hurt if you didn't hit it on the forehead. I had my doubts about this tool as it had an odd shape (to me at least) but when it arrived I saw how useful this shape could be. First, it's VERY heavy, so when you hit the chisel it hits straight down, not in an arc like a hammer. Really the only complaint I have is the construction as the screw holding it together often comes loose making me nervous…
