Review on Estwing Hammer Straight Genuine Leather by Lloyd Edwards

Although made of steel, this hammer has a head-to-head balance that packs more punch for its weight than a figure-of-eight hammer to the handle. This helps drive nails in with less force and absorbs more impact, reducing wear and tear on the elbow. I used the heavier Estwing (20oz) when I was younger, but when I'm over 70 and not pounding all day I like the 1g oz better. This is the kind of tool that you can get up and then pass it on to your daughter or son. Aside from its objective quality, it just gives you pleasure when you hold it in your hands. There is something in the upper tool.
