    The hammer

    I remember when if i needed a hammer i'd say 22 oz or 16oz
    and useing a 24 oz seemed big. These days i use a 6lb 18 inch long handle sledge.
    Now when i see a 22 oz hammer i can't believe how small it looks and how my whole perspective has changed, of course how big is big?

    Is the reason they switched to rubber mulch?

    Yep. size is in the perspective.
    When I was first mucking around with bullet shells, a .308 was a large size, then I found some .50 BMG's..

    Now .22 rimfires look like something I'd put in a kids cap gun.
