What do they mean by a well-balanced hammer?

Every hammer I've ever had was heavier at one end.

"The first consideration of anyone who knows their hammer is balance.
The proper head-to-handle weight distribution is very important. When a
hammer has good balance, it seems to swing itself. Good balance results
in less stress on muscles and tendons, helping to eliminate common
injuries associated with swinging a hammer."

I don't know that it means a particular balance point as much as the
feel of the swing. Some hammers of the same weight do feel better and
make it easier to swing and puts more force on the nail. I've used some
hammers that I could use all day, others that I'd not want to finish a
nail with.


Of course, there are progressive and balance piano hammers too.

Everybody know "they" They are the ones that say to change your oil
every 2000 miles. They say never order fish at a restaurant on Monday.
They say don't go in the water after eating. They say feed a cold,
starve a fever. Yep, that they.

Doesn't matter. He's just a silly, persistent troll and for some reason,
fools respond to his inane posts...

hammers that I could use all day, others that I'd not want to finish a

A couple days ago I was just removing a nail from old 3/8' plywood,
wasn't pushing it hard, but I still broke the wooden handle. I have
other hammers but I don't know whether they are.

On Amazon, the cheapest handle was about $11, but there were hammers for
$8. At Home Depot there were hammers for $6.50. At that price it must
not be balanced, I figure, but I haven't used it yet.

I only have 10 pickets to replace so I can't use it all day, but I'll
let you know if I can tell if it's hard or easy to swing.

Of course, there are progressive and balance piano hammers too.

I've replaced piano hammers. When I was in college we (we is the
opposite of "they") had a broken piano, and the people at the piano
company downtown gave me parts (hammers, felt, piano wire, everything I
knew I needed except keys**) and instruction and one guy gave me his
name to use so I could buy anything else at the piano parts store at 50%
off. **And he told me to call the Lyon and Healy Piano Company. The
woman on t he phone didn't even want me to come there. She just sent
me, for free, a big envelope full of ivories and black keys, that they
removed from other pianos they were refurbishing (or junking?) I fixed
everything

You don't give up easy.
