Review: Fantastic hammer, Made in USA - Very sturdy and comfortable to use. Works well, looks great, and weight is just right. My only problem is that others on the site want to keep borrowing it. I told them to go buy their own! I now own one of each size/weight class to go as a set. Good product made in the USA. Buy one and you will be satisfied (they do have different claw choices if rip claw is not to your liking, so check the seller for more options).
Review: Worth it. - Good hammer. Did what hammers do very well. Better than some walmart brand hammer that's a knuckle buster. A little on the lighter side. Good basic no frills design. Easy use lol.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm female with some arthritis in my  wrist and thumb.  I just need a hammer for fix-em-up jobs in the house.  Would the 20 oz be too much for me?**
A: Yes,the 20 oz. With the leather grip WOULD BE TOO MUCH! The 12 oz. Or 16 oz. With the blue cushion grip will do just fine for general fix-it jobs around the house,and be a lot more comfortable! P.S. I have three grown daughters in their thirties, who own homes,and 12 oz. Hammers are all they have ever used.

**Q: 16 Ounces are the weight of the hammer? or whole weight?**
A: 16oz is the head weight which is determined by weighing just the head of the hammer and about two inches of handle.

**Q: Does the handle soften over time?**
A: No It really does not soften but for a small amount.   The clear coating eventually wears off and the leather handle starts to get a patina from the oils from your hand, ( and dirt).   I love these hammers but I'm mostly a trim carpenter.  I do not frame.

**Q: What kind of clear coat is on the leather?**
A: Don't know.  Its durable, though the coating will eventually wear off and the leather will patina.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best hammers, period.
*by S***N on January 5, 2026*

It's the best hammer you can buy. Estwing is the standard for quality hammers, they only reason you'll ever buy a second one is because your dad bought a new one and you get jealous of how shiny it is. ;-)
