I would suggest you purchase the heavier end weight -- but I still haven't gotten around to ordering one from Reyburn. The standard weight is OK but a bit more heft would be helpful for very high torque pinblocks (Baldwins for example). I use it mainly for the first pass pitch "rough in." Sometimes I will use it for fine tuning but old habits die hard (in other words then I switch to my Faulk light weight titanium tuning lever). It does take a while for it feel "natural", developing new work habits using the CyberHammer, but now there's much less shoulder pain.
