Review on Estwing Curved Genuine Leather Hammer by Ethan Delaney

This is the hammer of choice among tradespeople and carpenters (although some prefer a straight handle). It is well balanced and offers maximum controllable power over a small forward. The curved handle design provides maximum braking/lifting power while minimizing damage to the handle surface. The curved claw also reduces the risk of backswing and improves performance in tight spaces. Not only is the metal of this attractive hammer professionally finished, conditioned and finished, the leather handle is of course comfortable, absorbs shock and provides a secure grip in all environmental conditions. On more than two occasions my clients remarked that "my grandfather used a hammer like this". This hammer replaced my 40 year old trading tool; walked through the steps but still in great condition; what was stolen.
