🔨 Estwing Straight Reduction Hammertooth Hammer Review

Excellent and well balanced hammer. I bought it to drive in some nails along with a pneumatic nailer to build a shed for my backyard. This hammer worked like a champ and I am very happy with its balance, nailing power and ability to pull out some nails. It's also forged and made in the USA, so you can't go wrong.

I'm building a shed, sometimes the boards warp within a day of buying them from a big store . box store. This hammer allowed me to pry the boards back while I used the frame nail gun to set them in place. Then, if the nails don't go all the way in, this heavier hammer will hammer them in nicely.

I have a toolbox full of finishing hammers (smooth finish) but nobody had that shark tooth for straightening warped wood. I use this hammer for everything framing! Tip 1: If you want an all round workhorse I would suggest getting the smooth finished version of this hammer. I used this 1 time to hammer electrical staples, skipped the brach and hit the 12/2 wire and the rough surface…

I make concrete molds at work but with a frame hammer. But when it came time to take the mold apart and remove a few 16 inch nails and/or metal stakes, I broke a couple of wooden-handled hammers in the process. That's why I chose this hammer because it's all metal and I don't have to worry about the wooden handle and its good price. There is no magnet starter for nails, the surface of the hammer (which is nails) is a bit small, so I don't recommend it for framing or shaping, but for…
