  • Very good hammer !! 🔨

Im a framer and Carpenter. This hammer is very good for the price. I have purchased 3 pf them.

  • My new favorite framing hammer
Style: Magnet
Well balanced and easy to swing. I had a 22 oz smooth faced hammer but have been finding myself away from the pneumatic guns lately or arriving on site before the compressor is set up and needing to hand drive 16d sinkers. I grew up in the age before pneumatic nailers and forgot how much enjoyment I got from hand driving nails. I wish I would have had this beauty back then. Recently we were adding a door header that was missed on layout. The nailer ran out of nails and the guy operating it was out as well. So off he went to get more nails out of the trailer. I had a pouch of sinkers and by the time he got back I had the header done and the king and jack on one side. And absolutely no fatigue. ... show more

  • Hammers are designed to drive nails, pulling a nail is secondary
Style: Magnet
Perfect framing hammer, for me and my application, it hits hard and is an extension of my hand, not overly heavy and not too light, the hatchet style handle offers an excellent angle of approach for driving 20P. To 60P. Galvanized nails without much effort. . . And keeps my knuckles off the lumber. As far as the handles go, the grain orientation to the head is quite ideal, sometimes in Perfect alignment. The varnish on the handle is there to do 2 things, keep it pretty until it's purchased and allow you to see the grain of the handle. As a general rule, never purchase a wooden handled striking tool with a painted handle, paint hides flaws. I always sand the factory varnish off, and properly apply boiled linseed oil. Preserves the wood and helps with the grip in wet weather. And just as a side note, your hammer should fit you, not Billyray gorilla hands, work smarter not harder. . .and if you find your breaking handles. . . They make nail pullers for a reason. . . ... show more

  • Best hammer I’ve ever owned.
Style: Magnet
This is easily the best hammer I have ever had and I have had quite a few. I’ve never had a titanium one but my guess is short of that this is about as good as you can get. The head of the hammer is large enough that you don’t miss your target even when you become fatigued so you can stay no productive all day. I a try to take care of my tools but of course I am hard on them sometimes too, and I don’t feel like this is going to snap on me anytime soon, I’m sure you could break the handle if you we’re trying to but that is the trade off of wood. I have had lighter hammers but this one swings like it doesn’t weight what it does but still packs the same punch that it should. The only thing I am not a fan of is the fact, and honestly I am surprised at Estwing, that it is made in Taiwan. I would pay $10-20 for an American made product, but this is still a quality product. ... show more

  • Wood breaks.
Style: Magnet
This is a great hammer, has good feel, I like the waffle face. For someone who's doing plumbing; the wood handle is not optimal for what we do. I see guys breaking them left and right. We arnt framers. We arnt the most precise trade with a hammer. In new construction there's a lot of things that we're trying to knock out, break, pry, move, nail. A metal shaft is better in my opinion. ... show more

  • Replaced my 25 Year Old Estwing for the Cost of a Handle!
Style: Magnet
I'm the kind of guy who hates to part with anything just because it broke. My first reaction is always "I can fix that" and that was the exact reaction I had when I broke my beloved Estwing framing hammer. As you can see from the photos, the handle cracked while pulling some extremely stubborn nails. I looked and looked on Amazon and at my local hardware store and couldnt find a handle that was anywhere close to the right size. Furthermore, the new handles were all around $12-15. I was resigned to buying the all steel $40 Estwing framer on Amazon when I did one last search and this one popped up. For less than $19 I was able to get a stouter and improved version of my favorite hammer! Lookt at the comparison photos and you can see that the handle has been improved in both shape and thickness at the point of attachment. I've only driven about 25 nails with this new hammer so far but it seems well balanced and the magnetic nail starter is a cool feature I never new I needed! ... show more

  • Nice Hammer
Style: Magnet
Scraped the coating off with the teeth of a hacksaw blade for better grip but a non-aggressive texture. So far, seems pretty good quality.
