An aquiantance of mine who has a small shoe repair shop in our town once told me that the hammer he preffered to use had the front face of the hammer tilted down about 5 to 7 degrees in relation to the handle. He didn't know if it was originally made for a specific job but he said he used it for just about everything and found it to be found it to be the most comfortable. Has anybody else ever heard of this ?
