Ratings & Reviews for Estwing 48.0 -oz Steel Handle Drilling hammer

Little hammer with a big heart

I love this hammer. After my first one was stolen off of my back porch, I just had to buy another one. Primarily I use it to pound light fence posts into the ground and to get heavier fence posts started. I am a senior female, so a heavier sledge hammer just won't work for me. Besides the size, I like that the handle is bright yellow and blue, so it is easy to see even in tall grass. This is a great tool that has improved my gardening projects.

Garden Delight

My mother-in-law loves gardening and she is always having me put stakes here and there. A sledgehammer was too heavy for her. She just loves her new hammer. Now she can do her gardening without having to wait for me.

Handy hannee

Good solid tool when you need a little more than just a hammer

Gives a beating

Strong, comfortable handle, well balanced and gets it done...if you hit your Target! Great tool to have in your arsenal!

Estwing 48-oz smooth face hammer

Excellent sledge hammer. Been using it for 3 weeks now and I love it!

Pretty near Perfect

I got for pounding stakes in hard clay, way better than anything else we've tried. Decent balance so I can use as well as my husband

Thought he might return it!

My husband is frugal and rarely buys a new tool. He splits wood all the time. I bought him this new Steel Drilling Hammer and he uses it all the time with a wedge instead of a splitting maul. He loves it! Very sturdy and well made.

If you need a hammer

It will hammer in the morning. It will hammer in the evening. It will hammer the whole doodah day. John Henry wishes he could have had this hammer. But he couldn’t. It’s my hammer. Join with John Henry and buy your own hammer. Stop coveting mine and get your very own at Lowe’s!
