I have a limited number of tools with which I hammer in my shop. I have a rubber mallet, a turned carving mallet, a dead blow hammer and I HAD a 40+ year old Stanley 16 oz. curved claw hammer. In my shed, I have a couple sledge hammers of different weights, a 27 oz. (IIRC) framing hammer, and two roofing hammers (think hachet made for roofing). My dearly appreciated 16 oz. Stanley disappeared a couple weeks ago. I have crawled all over my shop, opened all drawers, looked behind tools, cabinets, under tables and I can't find it. It's the one I use most often when I am building projects. Today I picked up the first load of materials for the shower remodel I am beginning tomorrow. It's stuff I ordered online from HD. The big stuff I had to special order and it's shipping to be delivered to my home. One thing I did pickup as part of the partial order today was a new Estwing 16 oz. claw hammer.
I am sure the Stanley will turn up soon now that I have bought it's replacement!
