Great hammer. I've been using it for 9 months as an electrician apprentice. I don't use it everyday or super often, but when your linemans pliers aren't enough you need a hammer. I may eventually size up to a 20 Oz or 24 Oz hammer at some point. 16oz is a good all around size though. I've used this hammer to hammer nails and also for things it wasn't designed for.
