I can attest it works incredibly well. Also, if anyone's wondering, yes, if you hit your finger you can absolutely break it and have black out pain.
Bought this in store yesterday. Has a nice feel with most of the weight in the steel head and a curved lightweight hickory handle that has a nice swing to it. At full price I would be more inclined to get a nice Estwing for a few bucks more, but at ~$5 more than the cheap hammers, I think this is a good deal.
Also, wood handles are easy to replace if broken, so this hammer should last for many years.
You don't want milled faced for general stuff and 19oz is a bit too heavy, 16oz non milled faced is probably better as a general purpose hammer.

Or just solid metal and go decades without replacing anything...
I have the solid metal hammer as well and it's good for any work where I might knowingly hit the handle (demoing something covered in nails and screws). Wooden handles send less vibration and impact energy through your hand/wrist and they are nicer to have for new construction (Framing a wall or building a deck).
Both have there place.
