I have a 4lb on a 20" haft. I can see why a guy would like it and there could be many applications for it, but it's not quite there for me, but I am not ready to get rid of it either. It is handy for breaking up them large pieces of mesquite charcoal and doesn't take up much room. Firmly setting on the fence for awhile and waiting to see if I can come up with more needs for it.
