  • Nice Little Hammer
Size: 12 oz (Ounces)
I needed a smaller hammer for around the house. Looked at other brands, but again settled on Estwing. The 12oz size is great for smaller projects around the house, and very solid construction so you can beat away confidently. Fairly comfortable handle for moderate use scenarios. There's probably more comfortable hammers for hammering 8 hours straight per day, but I mostly need it for a few whacks here and there. These hold up really well. The 12 oz size is great for hanging a few pictures, or driving a few nails in the house. Not really a heavy demolition hammer or framing hammer. Love it. ... show more

  • Grandpa's Hammer
Size: 16 oz (Ounces)
This is Great Hammer that will last decades with proper care and maintenance. I grew up in a builder/construction family and this is the hammer my grandpa used for 20 years or more I wish I still had the the original. Two hammer company's that were always most used and dependable were Vaughan and Estwing because they do a job well and last a long time. Lately I've been organizing my tools and upgrading some of them, so I noticed I didn't have a good medium size hammer, I have been using a workpro 10 oz. hammer for odd jobs around the house and a Vaughan 21 oz. Hammer for heavy duty jobs. I wanted something in the middle and I knew I wanted Estwing so I went with the 16 oz Curved Claw with Smooth Face, The smooth face so it won't mar whatever i'm working on and claw to give that extra prying power. The 16 oz. is perfect for control and accuracy and the metal tang means you don't have to change the handle or have a loose/wobbly hammer head. The grip is a comfortable, the plastic/rubber is very durable of course if you abuse it and use the handle to pry or scrape rough objects it's going to deteriorate and break apart, I have seen people completely wreck their tools using them in idiotic ways. The only disappointment was the Estwing Logo is NOT yellow, it's just engraved in the handle with no color added and that is not how I grew up with the logo looking, it was always yellow letters on a blue handle, I think you can still find it in some models but I'm not going to hunt it down so I'm just enjoy it for what it is. Made in the USA and at 16 oz you can do light to heavy work all day with this and it won't let you down for a lifetime. I added a pic with my vintage Stanley 6oz. ball peen hammer next to the Estwing 16oz. ... show more

  • Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread.
Size: 12 oz (Ounces)
Greatest thing since sliced bread. Best & most force per swing, best ergonomics, greatest handling, fastest in use and most controllable hammer made. By far. Dewalts a distant second. If I rated, Estwing 100%, DeWalt 90%, Cresent, 80%, Husky, others 75%, Milwaukee 60%. Also, most durable, rugged and best made. Again 100%, compared to Milwaukee at barely 60%. All Estwings in a class by themselves. ... show more

  • Estwing Essential
Size: 12 oz (Ounces)
This has been my “go-to” hammer for many years. Always in my work “go bag.” I bought this for my daughter. Is Estwing. If she doesn’t lose it, she’ll be well equipped with this. For just household use, nothing can offer the quality, versatility and feel. Many imitate, but can’t duplicate.

  • This is not a clubby hammer
Size: 12 oz (Ounces)
I like the weight, comfort of the handle, and the way it feels in my hand. I worked as a carpenter for many years Estwing makes great products

  • I've always wanted one ... and now I have one.
Size: 16 oz (Ounces)
And, I am happy about the purchase. Great hammer, good price. I don't plan to buy another hammer for the rest of my life. It looks beautiful, feels wonderful in the hand, it is sturdy and feels like I can accurately use the tool with a precision and consistency when I need to be exact in my motions. A classic piece. Great addition to the tool kit. The blue rubber one is practical, the leather handle is beautiful. I went blue rubber, because I am a practical man. ... show more

  • A solid hammer....
Size: 16 oz (Ounces)
I bought this to replace a hammer that my mother had, she inherited it from her father, in fact all his children took a item from his toolbelt when he died. My cousin decided to steal these back. I therefore decided to buy one similar, this one has a rubber handle, the one we had, had a leather handle. I have used wooden handled, and fiberglass handled hammers and didn't like them. ... show more

  • Estwing! There is none better!
Size: 16 oz (Ounces)
I lost my Dad earlier this year. He was a scaffolding carpenter for 40+ years, and as far back as I can remember he carried a 20 oz. Estwing. He was so very good and his nickname was "The Nail Driver" on and off the job. Many who reads this are too young to remember civilian CB radios, but my Dad always had one in his truck, and his "handle" was The Nail Driver. I always associated him so strongly with that 20 oz. beast. So, I decided to retire my 20 yo Plumb and purchase an Estwing for myself. I use it all of the time as a hobbyist woodworker. But since I can only emulate my Dad, I adopted the 16 oz. claw hammer. It is a great hammer and I will cherish it as a remembrance to The Nail Driver. Sorry for the sentimentality of this review. ... show more
