Estwing make USA tools
they're NOT what they were 50 years ago
Would RecommendMy mid 1970's 20oz Est-wing and its ~15oz mate have served me quite well. I fixed both leathers at least once before, years ago, the 20 oz needing it the most. Epoxy does wonders as does neats-foot oil or other leather oil. But the 20oz was very tired so decided for a new one; straight claw this time, the older being the curved style. It was the Last one Lowe's had on the rack, the only one available, I just gathered it, paid and not until returning home, miles away, did I notice the EXTREMEL...
