Broken hammer

When my uncles visit me they give me grief about the hammer I use.  The one I am talking about is the green hammer on the right.  The hammer is smaller than normal and my uncles call it a girl's hammer.

Well, the handle may be light but it is strong.  It has never broken on me all these years.  The same can't be said for the wooden hammer on the left - a hammer my uncles used when we worked on the bathroom.  The other day I used the hammer to pull some nails from a broken corral fence.  The nails were hard to pull and the next I knew the handle snapped easily.

So much for a "man's hammer".
