Meets ANSI/BS876 specifications for material hardness and performance.
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..
Pros
High-quality and durable stainless steel construction.
I purchased a cross peen hammer for my work in the lab and found this one to be a great fit .BASED on my observations it is well-made with strong materials that hold up to daily use. The grip is comfortable, and the weight of the hammer makes it easy to use. For Industrial and Scientific users, this is an excellent choice for a reliable and durable hammer..
Just because it's sold as a 3 pound hammer, don't forget that this thing has an incredibly heavy handle. It's a 5-pound all-day hammer when you factor in the weight of the handle. But a great hammer.
