    I suppose this would be handy when you have flammable residues around.

    Estwing 22oz Bricklayer hammer. I do all escrap, so the gapless smooth claw makes it so nothing ever gets wedged in there. The angle of the claw is perfect for swinging at my height to chop stuff off boards, and it's just the right weight. Plus, it's blue....

    I like using my Caterpillar 330 BL.

    For small jobs I have several hammers up to a 10 lb sledge. I like the 2 lb with a wedge shape on the back for dividing scrap. That bricklayer hammer is nice, wish I had one of those. I'm using a welding/chipping hammer for that job. Ball peens are a favorite of mine too. Hey, I just like hammers.
