Nice to see quality tools from my country. Of course you pay for this luxury. I was concerned about the durability of the thin neck, but it seems very durable; I couldn't bend it for my life. The handle is even more beautiful in reality than in the photo. There is a gray coating on the underside of the claw, perhaps simply to prevent scratches from nail heads or to provide traction. -1 star because they put some of those cheap paper stickers on it that takes 15 minutes to scrape with your fingernail to get all the paper and then acetone to get rid of the sticky residue. Note: The ounce rating and goggle warning are printed on the side of the head not shown in the images. It wipes off instantly with acetone, which I've used for sticker residue before, so it's an easy fix if you're worried about that.
