I have always felt that money spent on quality tools is a good investment in your occupation. You could easily spend that amount going out on the town or to a Red Sox or Patriots game for example.
I wont be buying one, but I dont frame houses anymore, been using Estwing hammers since the early seventies with no problems...hand nailing everything was not uncommon....framing, roofing, trim, siding.
If you have a hammer in your hand all day every day it is probably worth it.
I regret not buying the Festool Tracksaw years ago when I thought the price was waay too high.
