This review is from: Dead On DS24C 24oz Milled Face 19-Inch Curved Hickory Handle Hammer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I'm a carpentry contractor who has been searching for the perfect framing hammer for 33 years and where do I finaly find it? Of all places a bookstore! Hammers with curved handles make it easy to drive 8d nails with one whack; 2 whacks for a 16. Unfortunatly my last curved handle framing hammer had a weird head positioning which made it difficult to toe nail floor joists. No problem with the DS24-C. The magnetic nail holder is the best method for nailing out of reach and it should become standard on all hammers. Warning to novices: Hitting your fingers with this or any other waffle head hammer always produces almost intolerable pain and a bloody mess.

In my thirty years of slam hammer renovation, I've broken a lot of tools, but never while they we still shiny. In theory, the hatchet style handle gave added control, but the head snapped off the first time it was used to pull.

Up here in Alaska, we are very cautious with our purchases,especially in the field of hardware. When I first saw this hammer, orGOD STICK as I now call it, I was a little skeptical of its powers. This price for a hammer?", I thought. Luckily, my wife Elen, may she rest in peace, got it for me as a Labor Day gift. This hammer was the best investment I have ever made! At most, 3 whacks sends Mr. Rusty Nail into his proper place. Not only does this superior tool serve as the BEST HAMMER ON EARTH, but is also light enough to keep in my glove box just for safety precautions. I greatly encourage anyone considering this wonder-hammer to buy it. It is well worth the price and pretty much "pays for itself".
