Pretty good
A hammer is a tool, most often a hand tool, consisting of a weighted "head" fixed to a long handle that is swung to deliver an impact to a small area of an object. And bit mistake onthe stripe missing not bad. And my hand is small for perfect onthe hammer grip.

Reviewed in Italy on November 17, 2023
Premetto che la mia passione per i martelli da carpentiere nasce da piccolo avendone uno di mio padre "americano" con i becchi curvi cacciachiodi. Questo Eastwing è bellissimo ed è un peccato usarlo. ho preferito la versione 16 Oz (454 g) perché secondo me è il meglio bilanciato (avendo un o da carpentiere italiano da 300 g) ci sono due versioni questa è con i becchi semi dritti che sono utili come cacciachiodi (non fanno la forza di quelli curvi ) ma permettono anche di fare piccole demolizioni e per staccare battiscopa o spezzare assi in legno, la qualità è degna del nome e il prezzo pagato è giusto visto che è un utensile che si tramanda da padre in figlio.
