I was looking for a hammerless hammer that would be strong enough to move an 8" Kurt Vise when I need to straighten one but still in mine 1-1/2 inch Kennedy fits tool box. This one is perfect, I use it all week and it works like a much bigger hammer. I just have to be very careful not to hit a little harder than I wanted. this hammer. Everyone in the store has come to check it out and see how well it works. I tell them, "That's the difference between a $40 hammer and those cheap hammer hammers you buy."
