Title: This thing is wicked nice!
Review: It took about a day to get used to, but I'm framing way cleaner now than with my older 22oz smooth face. The light handle doesn't make the hammer feel head heavy by any means, but makes it a lot more agile instead. The curved handle allows me to choke up 1-2 inches for a conventional feel if I need the extra control, or I can just grip it and rip it. The extra leverage is noticable on inpact and the handle doesn't transmit anywhere near the shock of my old steel handle. The smooth curve of the head also allows for nearly mar-free nail pulls, even out of cedar facia - a nice bonus.If the hammer lacks anything, it might be a touch more difficult to toe nail into a top plate (from below) due to the rectangular head, but thats all I noticed after a week of framing. It would be nice if Estwing came out with a 24oz version, but this one clearly impressed me enough to actually bother writing my first Amazon review.
