Thank goodness this is made in the USA. Plus, you would have to be dumber than a box of hammers to break this hammer. Very solid.

Weight is of the head only and NOT the whole thing
Would RecommendI needed a hammer just like my old one which weighed 28 oz. so I bought this one, but it is way heavier, as the listed weight is just the weight of the head and not the entire hammer. Description should list the whole product weight.

Great hammer!
Would RecommendI had an old hammer for about 20 years. My teenage son used it once and lost it. So he bought me this new one, and I LOVE it. I use it for small projects around the farm and it's excellent.

Framing Hammer
Would RecommendIf you are doing any type of framing or remodel of a house you need one of these. Very well balanced, nice long handle, and the claws are positioned well.
Rings
Would Not RecommendBought the 28 oz hammer for its weight to drive nails into 70 year old oak framing. Been using a 20 oz fiberglass handle Vaughan hammer for 30 years on general construction and fencing but needed a little more weight and the Eswing was the only option. While it drives nails into the old oak it rings with a high pitch resonance as it passes your ear. Most annoying but fortunately I do not need to use it that often. Also the checkered face is too aggressive and needed to be sanded down a littl...
