These hammers seem to defy Newton's second law. f=ma
So for the force from a light weight hammer to equal the force delivered from a heavy hammer, you would have to swing the light hammer faster. I don't see any advantage in that unless you are a person who usually damages his work with a hammer. In other words, if you refuse to change your technique, you can use a lighter hammer.
