A very rare product review from me......

Whoa, hang on....
"Framing" hammer? Where are the waffle grid marks? You sure it wasn't a smooth face finish hammer? For your sake, I hope it was a smoothie. You will heal faster!
I love the feel of a fresh hammer. The head doesn't slide off the nail or deflect, it just goes where it is swung. The only drawback is that the waffle face takes skin with it when you catch a finger or thumb!
