If you are considering doing some serious home-improvement around your house, and you're going to try to do most of the work yourself in order to save money, then you are going to need some solid tools and one of the most important items is a good hammer. If you are getting up there in age you may not want to get an old-style hammer that has a steel, or stainless steel handle.

This makes them very heavy and you will get tired very quickly, especially if you're not conditioned for rigorous handyman work.

I'd like to recommend that you buy a hammer with a carbon fiber handle. They are quite a bit lighter, ergonomically sound, and about the same price. You will note that handle will be black instead of chrome colored, and some of the more popular brands have yellow handles, which makes them a little safer in case someone steps on it and it flips up and hurts them.

Even better if you use the hammer to pry things open you will find that the carbon fiber handle is plenty strong enough. Most hammers are not made in the United States anymore, and you shouldn't feel sorry that you didn't buy a hammer made with the US steel, because most of these hammers are made in China.

Yes, many of the carbon fiber handled hammers are also made in China. However, there are two brands of hammers and they are still made in the United States and one of the brands sells both carbon fiber handled hammers, as well as stainless steel handled hammers. Remember every good handyman has a trusty hammer. Please consider all this.
