went to hardware store and was confronted by huge variety of choices, and couldn't decide, there were fiberglass, graphite, wooden, steel, different kinds of claws, etc. I want a quality, durable hammer that is not too heavy for general purpose work, nailing, removing nails and ripping up stuff. Any advice? Thanks

If you miss alot I would get an eastwing or some thing similar in design
it has a slim metal neck and a nice punch
If you miss to many times with a wood, graphite or, fiberglass hammer you may need a new one soon
as for the claw they are labeled for what you will need them for.
good luck
and a cats claw is best for light ripping a crow bar will get the heavy stuff some times a hammer just dont cut it

just get a hammer! pick one up and see how it feels in your hand. Really if you have to leave the store and ask us for advice about a hammer? maybe you should just hire the work done.

whatever kind you buy just make sure it is not the curved claw, get the straight claw,,, the curved is hard to get into some spots to pull out nails.

eastwing or "The Death Stick"
ask for one with a tuning like fork in it, this will give little feedback to your wrist
