If you’re old enough, you remember nailing off decks with fistfuls of hot-dipped-galvanized sixteens. Your bags were loaded with pounds of nails, and your hammer was in your hand for a significant portion of the day. How efficiently you drove a nail mattered. Today, of course, our hammers hang from our belts, and we drive most of our nails with pneumatic tools, so who cares if there is a new hammer on the market?
Well, I do. And one big reason I care about it is because 20 ounces of steel pulling on my tool pouch all day literally digs my belt into my hips. I feel it at the end of the day.
