That looks like the Hart logo on the handle. That was by far the best framing hammer I have ever owned.

We went in for overtime today and one of youngsters there was trying to bust my balls. Told him he couldn't hang on a old school framing crew. Wouldn't trade my age or past. Its been a helluva ride but its been great. Worked on some great houses,churches,airports,libraries and even PNC Park when they built it.
Lots of roll form nails for layouts and a bunch of Zamac's for door frames. Plenty of real use on my side jobs.

These are may favorites, the Hart 21 is the only one I can swing for any length of time. And the head just fits in the joist hangers.
The FatMax 22 feels as heavy as the Craftsman 28. The Vaughan 23 feels much lighter than the FatMax 22. Must be the shape of the handle.
My Porter Cable 350 gets the most use. Not a single jam or misfire in the last 10,000 nails.
That is interesting. A friend of mind is a 6 foot 5 inch tall electrician. He owns his own business. He has managed to break just about every tool he picks up. He is very strong and always in a hurry. He is using Klein screw drivers. He uses them as drills and pry bars and every once in a while he drives a screw with them. They are pretty tough tools. I think they have a manufacturing plant in Jonesville Michigan. I have their screw drivers and nut drivers. I like them a lot.
I broke a brand new made in USA Husky screw driver the first time I used it. I was trying to get the muffler off a Poulan 5200 based Target 14 inch chop saw. The end of the blade snapped off on the first screw. Home Depot replaced it no questions asked.
Stanley has what look like the same models as the Klein screwdrivers.
The Stanleys fit the slots and plillips well in most screw heads. They seem to wear better than the Kleins.
