Heard a customer say hammer weight doesn't matter for forging

Overheard this guy at the hardware store bragging about his 2 pound hammer being perfect for everything, but I've been switching between a 1.5 and a 3 pounder for different projects for years. Has anyone else noticed a big difference when you swap hammer weights mid-project?

Absolutely, grabbing a lighter hammer for detail work changes everything.
