Versatile and withstands rough handling. I can't tell you what I've been through with this hammer in commercial construction, but it's withstood everything I could throw (or threw) at it. From framing, formwork, and concrete demolition to finishing, masonry, and even homework, I'm always happy to have this long-handled, smooth-headed, 22-ounce demolition hammer with me. provide agility while delivering a powerful punch. I would also look (in another Estwing hammer) for a straighter and flatter foot for getting into those hard to reach places. Overall, my colleagues and I rely on this brand every day to get millions of dollars worth of work done and I have recommended this particular hammer for years for its quality and versatility.
