Whatever project I’m working on, I’ve found I like it and am more likely to complete the tedious steps within that endeavor — if the tools I use work nicely and are pleasing to look at. There’s something about a quality tool which makes everything feel better and go more smoothly — including the attitude!
Projects for all these hammers run the gamut from heavy-duty demolition to lightweight image hanging, but all of these include features which make them better than your average tool. Take your pick and then add these to your present lists also — functional gifts are always appreciated.
