I have been a carpenter all my life! When I did a lot of framing I swung a 220z. framing hammer all day, day in and day out. One thing I learned is let the hammer do the work.
I have a 2lb. that has a 16" handle and my 4lb. has an 18" handle. From experience using the handle to let the hammer do the work!
I had a friend tell me I was killing myself with those longer handles. From my experience, I have no problem controlling the hammer and it lets the weight do the work instead of me having to do it!!So having said that what length do you like your forging hammers to have!
