"Quality, Quality, read all about it!"
Would RecommendThis product has great rip claw technology. whilst I was out hunting squirrel I ran out of ammo for my xx longshot nerf rifle so I had to have a backup plan and this product was it. 10/10 would recommend for anyone lookin for a sleek and sexy design with enough power to take out a baby grizz out to pasture.
Quality Estwing
Would RecommendClassic Estwing quality. No complaints, easy to swing.
Best hammer ever
Would RecommendI got two of these for my grandsons for Christmas. I have one that I got 42 years ago and use almost daily. No reason to think it won’t last the rest of my life. Just keep the leather handle dry and a little oil every few years.
Hammer time
Would RecommendExactly like my fathers hammer of 40 years ago . Still awesome
Estwing Hammer
Would RecommendJust like MY OLD ONE. GREAT HAMMER BUT KEEP IT OUT OF THE RAIN. GRANDKIDS LEFT IT OUTSIDE AND THE LEATHER MESSED UP. IT Was OVER 15 years old. Still works but handle a little ruff.
BEST Hammer
Would RecommendThis is the best hammer ever. 20 oz. perfect balance and leather handle. Wouldn't use anything else for trim work. Had one given to me by my dad 40 years ago recently misplaced and looked everywhere for its replacement before finding it at Lowe's.
Best Hammer/Must Have
Would RecommendYou need this like you need your hands. Buy this and it will be by your side your entire building career. An absolute staple in my everyday building. Just purchased another because someone walked off with my first one that I had for over 20 years. (Blue grip). Hopefully this one will be my last unless I am buying for someone else and I am sure I will.
