I would pick up one of these at this price for demolishing stuff in a heartbeat, but I already use the 25 oz / 18" "Big Blue" for that, and it makes me very happy when I do.
Edit: check out this fine print specifically on the 28oz model:
Limit one (1) per order Returns will not be honored on this closeout item
Um...my guess is it is used for framing.

1. Finish of the hammer is horrendous - pits, pocks, marks all over
2. The handle is not smooth if you look closely there are already resin or whatever rubber material they are using flaking off
3. When returning it was told do not order another one it's a common complaint - first time an Amazon rep has ever warned me about re-ordering, guess multiple returns triggered it
4. Balance of the hammer is not good, another hammer at the same ounce for its head with the same material will feel lighter
People make this out to be the greatest hammer in the world - but they are just cheap and made in the USA that's why everyone is gathered around circle jerking on Reddit/forums for tools
I guess if you need something cheap this is good, otherwise just get something nicer for a little more even if you are using it once a month

Wait, are you asking what is the use case for a "framing" hammer?
Um...my guess is it is used for framing.

No, I am asking what is the use case for a long handled, smooth face, 28 oz hammer.
