- Women need real hammers too. A 16oz hammer is minimal for getting a job
- done and a heavier hammer might be too much of a pain in the arm to
- deal with. A 16 oz hammer is optimal for *most* jobs, but a gal has to
- bust up something large once in a while, like pesky rocks or palmettos
- in Florida. I also have a 5lb sledge and a 25lb sledge. Don't ask.

- Shame on you, Larry, for buying her crummy tools in the first place.
