American quality!!
Would RecommendAmerican made!!!
Drives Like Heavier Hammer
Would RecommendNeeded a lighter weight hammer than framer for tight work in the attic. This fit the bill. Good material and finish. Handle has a good grip. Drives 12d and 16d nails easily and great for Romex staples. Bit pricey but seems worth the money.

Top Quality
Would RecommendWanted a hammer for other than framing. A 16oz was a good choice for everything from trim to electrical. This Estwing drives straight, solid feel, slip proof handle, no vibration, and no longer lugging a 22oz framer. A bit pricey but worth it so far.
