Haven't used this item in production yet so this is just a preview but holding this hammer feels like Excalibur compared to my usual crap with wooden handle, the weight is almost entirely at the head end with the fiberglass handle and the handle is a BIT larger for me but I have small hands for a builder type. Of course I'm into fencing now, I'm not an electrician as stated but I do my fair share of swinging and it's a lot of fun. If you care about framing you can deviate from that as the face is smaller than a lot of hammers and that can cause problems, but it's smooth anyway so you probably won't look at it.
