Estwing exceeded my wildest expectations. I first saw this blue hammer at Home Depot, but I didn't like it. I liked the feel of the grip and the solidity of the shaft/head so I bought it as soon as I saw it in black. I use this hammer for anything and everything! I built a garage and hung pictures in it with no problems. I would compare this hammer to a tank because it's impossible to break in your hand! Finally, the fit and finish is clean and tight. This is the Estwing hammer of the new wave of the decade.
