Review on Pittsburgh Oz Hammer Fiberglass Handle by David Roberts

I have had this hammer for over a year now. I bought it as a cheap hammer to demolish a tent. camping pegs, and it can be used as an emergency hammer when camping (not that you really need it, but I always carry a kit with me). It works great for this kind of casual use. I recently lost my 20 year old Craftsman wooden handle. Hammer and grabbed this to finish some bezels with aluminum nails and some other general carpentry work. I'll tell myself this hammer sucks for that. I regularly had nails that bent or didn't go straight in, even with good shots in the right place. This may be typical of facade nails because they are aluminum and very soft, but that was an exaggeration. I've come across this on other hammers in the past and have to say there are a few things that seem to be typical of them; Better hammers require less force to drive nails. Because of the severity, I'm guessing it's the head. For me, that means I can focus more on aiming and hitting well, rather than hitting hard. That's why I kept going back to my old handyman hammer and once met a builder with the same hammer who experienced the same thing. I have a 22 ounce Eastwing jackhammer that requires half the force of a Pittsburgh of the same size and type. Everything has its place and use. Regular use for general stuff, it will help you. I paid about €5 for mine. My Craftsman is still on sale at Ace for just under $20. My next replacement will either be a new one or I will try the Eastwing 16oz as I love the hammer I have from them.
