Talked to an old timer about hammer weight and it messed with my head
Was at a hammer-in up in Bellingham last Saturday and this guy named Pete who must be 70 said my 3 pound hammer was way too heavy for drawing out. He handed me his 2 pound cross peen and told me to let the steel do the work, not my arm. I fought it for like 20 minutes before I started feeling the difference in how the metal moved. Has anyone else had a hand tool change their whole approach after years of using something else?
