I've used them, abused them, and feel I can honestly say that I know a well-made tool when I see one; whether it is a true Ames shovel or an Estwing hatchet. To the reviewer that said his 11-year old daughter broke it on the first day, got news for him, I'm 6'5", almost 300 pounds, can probably lift my weight plus some, and I am NOT going to break this hammer this year. Considering that I gem-hunt and gold prospect dry placers, that amounts to thousands of blows by a gorilla that knows how to break a tool. Yes, the handle is rubber (overcoating the single forged piece of steel underneath), and yes, it is a hammer. It is a rather BIG rock hammer, the sticker on it said it was 20-ounces, and I didn't weigh it when I got it, but I'm guessing closer to 26-ounces, by the feel of it compared to my ripping hammer (again, I'm stuck on a 11-year old girl breaking this beast...it's like saying, 'and yes, my daughter just came out of diapers yesterday and she threw my 20-pound sledge out in the yard and broke it, right there, on the spot!)."
"I metal detect and I was running into problems where I wanted to metal detect gravel parkinglots. Only a minor con which isn't really a con but sometimes I smash the #*#*#* out of the coins trying to dig them out."
"OIt makes the swing part of the job so much easier on the muscles, it gives the right amount of impact on the target, in the case, rocks."
"I used this for a 6 week field camp as a geology major in college so it's gotten a lot of use in the short amount of time I had it."
"My Grandkids needed some expanding of their outlooks."
"Purchased this as a gift for a fellow rock hound and she absolutely loved it."
"Holy cow this thing is a substantial rock hammer!"
"Hammer works well and feels very good to hold and swing."

"OK this TEKTON 30401 Jacketed Fiberglass Ball Pein Hammer, 8-Ounce weight was about what I needed."
"Need a decent ball peen...here you go..I ordered the heavier one as i needed a larger hammer to bash off big drums and rotors on cars...and yes ive had some really really stuck 13 in drums that I knew i would not be able to turn so a couple wacks abd they were off...very happy overall...its a bit unweidly but it usually breaks stuff loose 1st or 2nd hit with a decent swing...good hammer to add to the bunch."
"I work as a mechanic and my co-workers are constantly asking me to borrow it to get something loose or simply break it."
"Huge hammer."
"I did buy another brand 4oz and same brand 8oz - NOT worth buying IF you -really- want a 'ball' - they will be just another hammer unless I spend a LOT of time finishing them."
"They seem of good quality."
"If you have purchased a jacketed fiberglass ball-pein hammer from Tekton, I would suggest checking to make sure the head is secure."
