🔨 The Powerful Estwing Strike California Framing Hammer: Ideal Tool for Construction Projects Review

I'm a bit shocked at the poor quality of this hammer. It was my favorite hammer until it broke after a month. My $7 skeletal hammer from Port Freight lasted longer. I don't know if mine is defective or what.

The hammer weighs the same as it does. I really like the way it looks and feels, but it's not what you want to shoot all day. Thinking I was going to be a man, I quickly went back to my 16-ounce hammer. It's definitely a great in-between option if you can't use a 16oz hammer but don't want a 32oz construction hammer.

This is the only hammer my husband will use. Home Depot used to sell them but stopped so now it's the only place we can buy them! He likes the curved handle, he likes the wood and the quality. Husky makes a similar hammer but refuses! HE LOVES THIS HAMMER. He used it 6 days a week to make concrete!

My favorite hammer so far. The balance is excellent, the grip is amazing. It hits like a mini mud, but is as accurate as those little 14-ounce studs. Tried one of them once, they are good but not enough. That's a bang. Mine has been there for about 2 years now. I try not to think about it too much. It's still a wooden handle. It's okay though, I usually carry a flat rod too.

I love using this hammer. I bought this about a month ago after using the Eswing Ultra Hammer (19oz) for the past six years. This hammer is obviously heavier, but if you know how to swing it's a nice change from a steel handle. I build and install concrete forms, so all day I swing my hammer with everything from nails to curb pins. This hammer can bury them all. I was thinking of spending over $200 for a bobby pin, but I see no point because it couldn't get any better than this $22 wooden…

Yes, exciting. I've been using hammers for over half a century and this hammer has changed all the boring and unspeakable things about nailers. The old school hickory handle fits me and seems to fit. The construction, grip and balance are fantastic, the handle feels good, it hammers nails under its own steam and the firing slot and magnet work perfectly. I've found that from 8p and up it works like a power pistol and can safely and easily drive the occasional small finishing nail right onto the

I'm the type of person who hates parting with something just because it's broke. My first reaction was always "I can fix this" and that was my reaction when I broke my beloved Estwing hammer. As you can see from the photos, the handle broke when pulling out the very stubborn nails. I searched and searched for Revain at my local hardware store and couldn't find a pin that was even close to the right size. Also, new pens cost around $12-15. I resigned myself to buying a $40 Revain Estwing…
