That must have been terrifying to feel it split while you were tied in.

Switched to a wood handle years ago. The shock absorption is way better than fiberglass, no more tingly hands after a long day.

Actually, @mark_thomas, the undo button saves time, not material.

My local hardware store does the same thing with basic lumber sizes. They keep the common stuff up front, but if you ask for an odd cut or a specific grade of plywood, they have it in the back. It’s like a lot of places default to the menu board and forget the real service is in the back room. I always appreciate when they take the extra minute.

Try "kid's drawing of a castle" next time.
