After reading the posts here on American Hammer , I got one . Here are some observations . I compared it to my current one . Present hammer has a handle that measures 9 1/4 " from center line of head to end of handle , American Hammer handle is 12 " from same point . Present hammer has a head that is approx. 1 3/4 " dia and about 4 " long . The American Hammer head is 2 " dia. and 3 3/8" long. Both hammers are 6 # units .
To me , this means I can get inside my 15" wheels easier with a shorter head and the larger dia . gives me a better chance of staying on target . I also like the longer handle and , to me is more comfortable to use .
In short , very happy with this lead hammer .
