This hammer is an excellent ADDITION to any DIY enthusiast's tool collection .The smooth vinyl grip makes it comfortable to hold for extended periods, reducing hand fatigue. It's solidly built making it a durable product that can withstand heavy use on a job site. Although it's a bit heavier than some other hammers out there, it's worth it for the sturdy construction. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable industrial and scientific hand tool!
