This hammer didn't live up to my expectations .Industrial and Scientific? I think not. As my tests showed, it wasn't as durable as other hammers in its category. One pro is that it had a comfortable grip. However the cons outweighed that. It didn't have enough weight for heavy-duty tasks, and the cross-peen WAS poorly designed, resulting in lots of missed strikes. i wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable hand tool..
