Switched from a claw hammer to a 16 oz framing hammer for trim work and it changed my nailing accuracy completely

After 3 days of bruised thumbs and bent finish nails on a baseboard job in a 1920s house, I grabbed my boss's heavier Estwing and suddenly the nails went in straight without any wobble has anyone else found a bigger hammer actually helps with delicate work?

Yeah, same principle applies to using a bigger wrench on a stuck bolt.

Watched my buddy @paulb98 try that on a rusted pipe. Snapped the bolt clean off.
