I find the concept of these tools magnificent...but they're just not practical.
I think the most disturbing feature listed is, "Single handed nailing!" If I ever see someone trying to use a conventional hammer with two hands (unless it's at least half their size), there will be severe consequences.
I saw these tools at the home show and they are regular tools. Some were sized a little smaller than I am used to, but I think thats about the average size of a woman's hands.
The "single handed nailing" feature of the hammer is not about people that swing a hammer with two hands, but rather refers to a magnetic nail set built into the head of the hammer so you don't have to hold the nail with your other hand. As someone who has smashed his hand a fair number of times over the years I find this feature intriguing.
