Is there a difference between fiberglass handles & wood handles on body hammers? I was looking at these two sets and was trying to decide which one to get.

The weight is pretty much the only diffrence. Both the tools do the same job.

I like wood better personally (especially if you have to push on heated metal to shrink or stretch it with the handle end). That and for me i feel there is better feel with the wood handle

fibre will 'transfer' more shock to your arm, iirc..

For what those are made for, I doubt it really makes a difference.

OP is talking about sheet metal/auto body hammers, not nail hammers.
Otherwise, I would have agreed with post #6 and this post would have been moved to "Home & Garden" in the Ramblings forum.

I've never used a sheet metal hammer and thus have no recommendation.

Anyone else suspect this is ?

i vote for a wood handle plus it's a little cheaper at least i've found that way.
