I ordered a 16oz hammer. The box said 16 oz but inside was a 12 oz hammer. I decided to leave it anyway as it serves its purpose. The grip on the handle is comfortable.
This is a hammer that gets the job done. They used to make a copper bowl out of a sheet of metal, it turned out great. Withstands the beatings I've been through. This is an item that should keep you busy for years to come and if it didn't I'd be surprised.
Absolute junk. Chinese steel disposable oil, the grind on the head is sloppy and the hitting faces are not hardened. If you're looking for a crappy hammer for your pickup, this is it. Not good for anything else. I'm honestly pissed I paid more than $5 for it. Do yourself a favor, spend your extra ten dollars and buy an Estwing.
Pros
Molded shell over graphite grip provides maximum protection from overload. Padded handle, molded shroud for shock absorption
