I switched from a 2 pound rounding hammer to a 3 pound for a draft horse job in Lancaster

Always used a lighter hammer for control, but this big Belgian needed a lot of shaping on some thick bar stock. My buddy Jake said to just try his 3 pounder for a few nails. The extra weight did the work for me, and I finished the set in half the time without my arm getting tired. Anyone else find a heavier hammer works better on the really big feet?

Always thought lighter was better, but you proved me wrong.

Wait, you used to think that? I figured everyone knew the heavier stuff worked better.
