(More customer reviews)It' a hammer and works much better than a rock. The big head is really just a gimmick. If you think the big head will improve efficiency, it will not. If you like the balance of the hammer then go with it. I felt the balance was a bit off for my tastes. I purchased the hammer to replace an Estwing which I must have left on a job site. I liked the Estwing better as I thought it had better balance. One of the problems with all finish hammers is they have a smooth face so a the small head of a finish nail easily glances off thus bending the nail. I do not know of any finish hammer that this is not a problem. To remedy this problem, I carry a light weight Estwing drywall hammer with a waffle face to drive the nail. The waffle face allows me to adjust the direction of the nail, and small finish nails do not glance off. I drive the nail home with a finish hammer. I think a perfect finish hammer would have a waffle face on the bottom of the striking face and a slightly raised smooth face at the top of the striking face then a carpenter could drive the nail home with the top surface. Being slightly raised, the top surface would strike before the waffle face and not leave the waffle impression in the wood surface. OK Estwing and Bostitch, time McGiever a better hammer as this one is just slightly better than a rock.
