The two heads of this chasing hammer have identically shaped chasing faces on either side, but with one has a different angle.  The angled head changes the way that you approach your work.  When you switch from one head to the other, your arm angle changes. This minimizes repetitive stress that can happen during long periods of use.  It is a way for you to \"mix it up\" while you are hammering.  The tilted head lowers your elbow and lowering stress on your arm.  The tilt is pretty much straight down.  In his researching designs for the Janus chasing hammer, Bill Fretz found a wide range of opinions on how to design a chasing hammer.  The tilted head design caught is attention. The Janus chasing hammer has a round end handle instead of a more traditional pistol grip.  The round end handle makes changing from one head to the other by \"spinning\" the hammer in your hand much easier.
