[...] Can’t Miss This Hammer’s Sweet Spot You can’t swing a hammer to save your life — is a bigger head going to help? Stanley claims the larger sweet spot on their new hammer will reduce the number of misses and deliver more power to the blows that do hit the nail on the head. [...]

Isn’t that beveled edge on the strike face going to cause the hammer to move sideways even more, when it contacts the nail head? Won’t this increase the chances of crushing your nearby thumb?

How about a hammer with a concave strike face, for all the newbie carpenters.

Just like a Pontiac, “Wider is Better.” Marketing is a wonderful thing . . ..

I remember when i first started using hammers how surprised I was that a longer (not wider) hammer did the job faster and more accurately- it’s difficult to swing a longer hammer (the head is longer, not the shaft) at an angle than a short one. then it’s just a matter of getting it on target, which you’ll have to do with *any* hammer, and the nails in with two hits, doesn’t matter if it’s a 4 inch nail or a finishing nail.

and with that experience, I look at this and think “somebody’s going to pay more for a worse tool because they think it’s better?”

Anybody else sick of “funny” comments written by people who have
never used the tool?

Mass and area replaces skill. What a concept.

Seems to me it’d just make an off-center blow worse.

Looks like it’s much more efficient, at crushing your thumb, and forefinger…
