[CAUT] Tuning Hammers

[Jim Busby]

I use the same hammer as Kent and I only had one complaint; it made my
face hurt. I was smiling so much because of how nice it was...

I don't have much to add to what Ron N said. My lever has a tear-drop  
shaped end, that is, sphere + cone; it hugely increases the surface  
contact area between my hand and the handle of the lever, compared  
with a traditional handle. I grip the lever firmly in the palm of my  
hand, and the load/pressure on my hand seems to be distributed better  
than on any other lever I have used.
