The reason I gave up on the impact hammer has more to do with "teaching an old dog new tricks" than anything else. I didn't want to go back to the earlier part of the learning curve when I could use my old faithful to get the job done quickly and efficiently. What finally caused me to set the impact aside was 1.) the discovery of the ball end type on a steel shaft (ugly to look at but oh so comfortable to use and 2.) an aching in my wrist after using the impact for a time. It gave me carpal tunnel fears. > I'm not sure what percentage of tuners use an impact hammer but it seems to > be pretty low.
