there isn't a correct answer to the quetion of which is the best hammer? because one that suits me might not suit you. I use a Spec Ops 20oz with a 350mm shaft, i love it and i think it would be well worth testing one. Also i find that a straight claw is better when driving in big nails as it gives the hammer a higher centre of gravity. Great video by the way....
When I started as a carpenter in construction 35 years ago (Netherlands) we basically had one hammer to have, the stanley hammer with a steel tube as shaft. The Estwing was an exotic hammer option for the luxury guys and hard to get. In Germany the carpenters use a (picard / peddinghaus) with one klaw extension as a spike called a lathamer. If someone had a framing hammer that would have probably been someone that bought it in the USA during a hollydays trip. Now we can just order our stuff on the internet from everywhere I have a whole collection of hammers. Especially the framing hammers, plain, no waffles, I like. Probably I will order a kinetic-customs just to have it out of frustration that I could never have one when I needed it. I actually don't need it because I only use screws these days, but hey, I am also a tool junky.
This isn't a fair comparison lads, hammers need to be similar length and head size as well as weight. Its quite obvious you get what you pay for like comparing a fiat to a mercedes.
I dunno what's sadder I'm watching a vid on hammers or I got excited when I recognised the branch of generic blue DIY store, it's just round the corner from the mother in law lol😂
F-16 all day have mine a year and it's just unreal ... strikes powerfully but swings like a feather ... hardly notice it in the hammer holder 👌👏
I couldn’t agree more mate! 💪🏼🔨
I still need to order a kinetic customs raptor to Canada. Such a nice hammer.
Do it 👀 the hammer is insane!
Just ordered my kinetic and I’m buzzing for it. Going from the same Stanley in the video to the kinetic

Would love to see the f-16 vs a Martinez m1
Does the F-16 have a 14.5 handle or the 16 inch handle?
Would love to see a comparison between the Kinetic customs and an estwing 22oz 🤙
Great video lads ❤
Thank you mate 👊🏼💙
The way you kids were missing those nails...must've been a real windy day...😉😆.
Maybe review hikoki’s 190mm/185’m circular saws?
Great idea! We have this coming soon 👀 appreciate the comment 👊🏼
Great video lads, douse any of you use the kinetic customs 14.5 handle and would this do the same job ? 🔨
I do, I love it, I’d only get the 16” handle if I was driving nails in all day and banging big bits of wood around.
Dave uses the 16 and I use the 14.5 buddy, for me the 14.5 is more than good enough for all 💪🏼🔨
@@molley17 thank you 🙏🏻
@@TheToolJunkies thank you and keep up the good work 🙏🏻
@@jacobbrereton256 thank you buddy! Appreciate the support! Have a great weekend mate 👊🏼💙

How do the raptors compare to 16oz estwing?
I'm forever losing my hammer. leaving them on jobs etc. so i usually just buy the cheap ones strange tho cause i never seem to leave/lose other tools
I have the same issue as you 🤣 thankfully I haven’t lost my kinetic yet 👀
I dunno what's sadder I'm watching a vid on hammers or I got excited when I recognised the branch of generic blue DIY store, it's just round the corner from the mother in law lol😂
Estwing for me, i can't justify spending £100's on a hammer.
Small hammer vs big hammer.
Thé best hammer is Martinez M1 🇺🇸
