My blacksmithing class list suggested purchasing a 2lb cross pein hammer. Maybe the head was 2lb but the overall weight was double that. Not very user friendly for a female blacksmith. Too heavy!

I'm a geologist and bought this hammer about six months ago for rock sampling in the field and breaking up really hard rocks. The handle has a nice fat rubber sleeve with a grippy feel that is not at all slippery. The 16" handle length allows for more leverage when swinging the hammer, for more oomph. But because of the "unbreakable" design with a metal core in the handle and how it's connected to the head, the hammer has a very harsh feel and it is not pleasant to swing. Gripping the handle a few inches up from the end helps to reduce a little bit of the harsh feel, but this defeats the purpose of a longer 16" handle. The black rubber cap on top of the head was glued on crooked and literally fell off within the first dozen hits with the hammer on day one. The rubber cap isn’t really necessary and is mostly for cosmetics, but if it’s part of the hammer then it should stay on the hammer and not fall off.This hammer is expensive and costs almost three times what I paid for 2.5 lb. cross pein/blacksmith hammers from Estwing and DeWalt with 14" fiberglass handles. The fiberglass handle hammers are much more comfortable to swing and they are holding up just fine. Though I wish they had a 16†handle, I prefer them over the Wilton for heavier hammer work where a geo-pick isn’t sufficient. The long-handle Estwing geo-pick has a metal and rubber handle but doesn't have a harsh feel and is comfortable to swing all day; it's withstood over three decades of abuse with no problems, aside from occasionally needing the pick sharpened. From my experience with hickory handle hammers, ranging from swinging a framing hammer as a kid to years of slamming pitons on big walls in Yosemite and drilling hundreds of bolt holes in granite with a hand drill, I’d say that the Wilton hammer has a very different feel than a typical hammer, and not in a good way. There is quite a bit of mass in the handle (1/3 the overall hammer weight), so the balance is different than what one might expect. It feels more like a rigid club than a hammer. Because of its characteristics, my Wilton hammer sits in my truck as an extra backup. It's "unbreakable" mainly because it rarely gets used.Made in Mexico.
