I bought this to carry in my football bag to drive in the U-bolt I use to secure the goal. It's a good weight for such a small job, easy to swing but strong enough to quickly drive a small U-bolt into the ground. I also like the feel of it in my hand. One minor complaint: A small piece of black rubber came loose about the second time I used it, leaving a small scratch on the hammer. It still works just as well, but I was surprised it cut so quickly.
