I have several claw hammers and several Tekton tools. I wanted to add a hammer to my toolbox in my shooting bag. You never know when you'll need it. I don't want a claw and I don't need a really heavy 8 oz. good enough. I chose this Tekton hammer based on my experience with their other tools. Also because the price is good. Looks very solid and feels good in the hand. The head is tilted slightly to one side, but not as much as in another person's picture. It's okay, but the more I look at it, the more it annoys me. If the head was in a straight line I would give 5 stars.
