I've enjoyed the regular use of an Ideal electrician's hammer since the mid '80s. One piece steel with leather grip, straight claw and a pommel long enough to readily strike the inside bottom of a 2-1/8" deep j-box. The claw makes a darn good demo tool for knocking a box hole in stucco or cement block, along with hacking drywall and wood. One claw is now slightly shorter and about 7° out from the other, and I'm coming to terms with having to break in a new one.
