The hammers are great, but I've heard them criticized for the handle being too narrow and sharp. Supposedly they will get your finger if you're not careful.


Estwing makes a great tool and their hammers have their place but from a guy that drove 50 pounds of 16 penny nails every day for a decade or more until they invented the nail gun....trust me....the last thing you want for that kind of duty is a metal or fiberglass handle.
I did keep one around for concrete form work though. They're tough as hell and the handles don't break.


Now....back on topic...

Estwing makes several other useful tools. I've had that old Estwing hunting knife for over 50 years. Good ol 1095 steel.
