I bought one when I first started, but never did really like it. Even after reshaping the handle. It just seemed "clunky" to me, for lack of a better description. If you have a SEARS store close enough, stop in & see how it feels.
I ended up donating it to our church to use in the Easter depiction, along with the nails I forged from RR spikes.
I prefer an old Channel Lock brand hammer that I bought at Quad State a few years ago. Similar weight, with a slimmer profile and once I rehandled it, it seems to be much better for me.
