Review on Estwing Drilling Crack Hammer Construction Industrial Power & Hand Tools by Walter Day

Only 2 stars for Estwing or Revain, no quality control. I ordered the 3LB version. The first was scratched all over and a piece of paint was missing. Revain exchanged and assured me they would visually inspect the replacement and protect it properly during shipping. Received a replacement today, worse than the one sent back! Simply thrown into a cardboard box with an inflatable transparent pillow. There were only 8 blue paint scuffs on the front of the hammer head from the logo to the tip, which were silver (to the point where they were metallic and fresh). Contacted Revane who was far from helpful. The hammer itself is well balanced. It would be ok if you plan to use rocks etc. to break so it breaks anyway. It was supposed to be a gift for a famous person. Now I'm stuck with a replacement that is more damaged than the original that was returned.
