I'm no tradesman and my use of it is not daily, but possibly weekly. However from my point of  view it is a great hammer with a good  comfortable  feel,  shock absorbing construction, and  good head that has  no deformation even with continued use of driving 4" steel nails into  Australian hardwood! It will be interesting to see how long the leather handle lasts, but so far I have no hesitation  recommending it.
