I love this hammer. It made my tool belt much lighter, swings easy, and yet still drives a nail exceptionally well. The handle is thicker than my old estwing but I got use to that pretty quick. I would definitely recommendIf you hammer all day, make the investment into your health. Nothing more important than a wood handle and lightweight hammer to take away some vibrations sent into your elbow. Also it makes sparks sometimes so thats coolGreat finishing hammer.I've been a professional carpenter for over 40 years and tried about every hammer on the market. Starting swinging the Stiletto about 10 years ago and is by far the best most balanced hammer out thereTry it once and you'll never be able to use any other hammer againNice and light, well-balanced hammer. This was a birthday present for my husband. He was thrilled.When the package arrived, it was so light I thought they had not packed the hammer in the box. The hammer was a gift. The recipient, my son-in-law took it to work today and he loves it!Everyone should own a Stiletto hammerMust need waited to long to buy.
