The price is right, but there are a few problems. Like a jackhammer, the shape has too many sharp edges. That breaks the metal. After about 10 minutes with the help of a grinder, file and polishing wheel, however, the shape was sufficient. I lifted 3 vessels with this hammer. The head was loose but I expected this from other reviews and took care of it by adding another wedge. made of high quality tool steel but must be strong enough for non-ferrous metals.
