True, but even the deluxe model at 15 ounces is significantly more than many of the Faulk hammers at 9-10 ounces. The less expensive Reyburn IL is about 18 ounces or almost double the weight. Something to consider if you are changing hammers because of the weight.

That's also supposed to be one of the main features of the new Reyburn impact lever - minimal weight (for an impact lever anyway) - supposedly significantly less weight than others - their deluxe model weighs 428 grams, 15.1 ounces total weight, and has USA/Japan tuning thread/tip (titanium alloy shank and head, stainless steel extension, bronze weight). .
