Let me start by saying that I am not a contractor and I don’t use my tools for a living. Having said that, I do all of my own home repair/renovation work and at one point or another I have built everything from furniture to room additions to a 24′ by 40′ pole barn. I have owned this hammer for a long time – at least 6-8 years, and although the metal has tarnished to a dark grey it is still in as good of shape as the day I bought it. The face has remained very flat and true and the handle grip is holding up just fine. I love the balance of this hammer and the weight is just right for jobs like framing where power is more important than finesse.

All in all this is what I would consider a useful and indestructible tool at a great price.

When I first started doing remodeling work, I just picked up a cheap fiberglass hammer at home depot. Later, after getting more into it I upgraded to an Estwing 20 oz hammer and let me tell you what a world of a difference it was. This hammer is balanced beautifully, the grip is comfortable and absorbs a good amount of shock, and the appearance of the hammer is very nice as well. My dad owns an Estwing hammer he had for many years and it still functions like new. Now, after driving many thousands of nails, my hammer is also still going strong. Many manufactures such as Kobalt, Bostich, Craftsman and various others have tried to copy the Estwing design and let me tell you, Estwing is still my favorite by far. If you are looking for an all-steel framing hammer, there is no other hammer on the market that I have seen or used that I like better – at any price. As long as you don’t abuse it, it should last a lifetime. I liked it so much that I began purchasing several other models, and have recommended them friends and family. As long as their quality does not change for the worse in the future, Eswing can expect more purchases from me. Highly recommended.

I’ve used this hammer for years, to do everything from building a new addition on my house to demo-ing a bunch of old plaster.

Plus, it’s the hammer used to bludgeon someone to death by the Trinity Killer in Season Three of ‘Dexter’ (available from Amazon on DVD!), so that’s a third use to which it can be put. Good to know!

I love this hammer if I could give it 10 stars I would. I install windows for a living and use a hammer a lot. I was getting sick of my stanley fiberglass standard 16oz curved claw hammer, i call it pinger. The stanley pings really loudly and it is very anoying. Anyway the Estwing hits a lot harder and has better comfort. Even though the Stanley has a “form fitting handle” that gives me a blisted after ten minutes. Estwing is the way to go. I may suggest that you get the 22oz because it is the same size, cheaper and unless you frame for a living you wont need the little extra power the 28 oz has,. Also the 28oz hurts your forarm a l;ittle quicker than the 22oz.

I own one of these and it has built and destroyed many bridges in the Chicago area. Estwing steel framers are THE hammer. They’re cheap, virtually indestructible (I’ve owned several and the only reason I’ve ever had to buy a new one is when I lose the old one or the one time some oblivious operator set his bucket down on my hammer that was resting on a barrier wall and smooshed the claws together).

It’s like a sledge in framing hammer form. The claws are long and sharp. It’s balance is dead on. And all the pros use it. I got into a work truck the other day, set my hammer down on the seat and realized I sat it down on top of 3 other steel estwings; Mine, my foreman’s and 2 of my other foreman’s (A 22oz for driving nail and a 28 oz for demo work). I’ve seen hundreds of these on job sites being used for everything you can imagine and they hold up like nothing else. I’ve only seen 2 Stanley antivibe steel framers and of those two, the head broke off on one as a dude was using it to chip some concrete and the hammer was only a couple of weeks old. For shame. I’ve never seen that happen with an estwing.
