    I lost count of the 28 oz hammers I’ve purchase over the years. I was extremely irritated when losing them or when sticky fingers would attach to them! But I always get excited when getting a brand new shiny 28 oz Estwing. No other hammer will do in my trade. I’m in the concrete trade so believe me when I say the 28 is unmatched. Every time somebody has a different hammer I tell them to get a 28 oz Estwing when they break the junk they wasted money on lol. I just purchased the 30oz recently. I still have my latest 28 but always wanted the 30. It’s so shiny and new I hate to take it to work but so excited to use my new Estwing. Keep up the good work guys stay American made PLEASE!!! I always put an X in my handles and call them Excalibur. God bless America.

    I have 9 Estwing hammers , an axe and a pry bar . My oldest hammer used to be my dad's , who was also a carpenter/joiner . It's just over 50 years old , and can still pull small pins , up to 4" wires , and drive oval Brad's and ringshanks with ease . It feels like he is on every job with me , lending a hand . I also love my straight claw rip hammer , but find the curved claw easier for pulling old nails etc... Brilliant tools .

Estwing hammers is all I use and been using them for the past 25 years . There's no hammer better than a good old estwing

Looks like Estwing has something that you wish you had and didn’t invent for your own. So you also should know thee original inventor was Swedish and made his way doing it in AMERICA (BAM) beat our hand tools I dare you to try. We’ll test them until they fail. Just like we do ours, the same tests with all manufactures. We always come out on top
