you have to be sure to get it aligned wiht the head or it'll be an
irritating hammer to use..

Yep. That's the chief reason I don't like a round handle. Damned hammer
is
always in your hand all wonky.

Now that you mention it, I've got one with the end of a long-handled
shovel handle for a handle and it is a bit different to use.

Precisely! It's amazing how our brain orients a hammer when the handle has
the slightest amount of irregularity. When I pick up my soft hammer,
there's never a question where the head is pointed------and I never look at
it, just at the target. Doesn't work with a round handle----even when I
look first. Somehow it almost always manages to be askew.
