And it will feel like you are hitting with your bare hand. Wood and
fiberglass absorbe a lot of shock - the steel will ring all the way to
your spine!!. ANd yes, a good fiberglass handle is quite superior to
MOST wooden handled, as far as strength and durability are concerned.

I like them to have a rubber sleave over them down close to the head
to protect against hitting the handle against the workpiece.

And another potential use for duct tape.
