Hammered:
Nothing fancy here. Just a hammer. I wanted a 20-ounce claw hammer, and that is what I got. I have others that I like better, but there is really nothing wrong with this one. Don't really know what I was expecting, but it is just a hammer.
It's not a stiletto, but...it was $20, so theres a tradeoff:
I like my hammer. It is a good hammer. Good weight distribution, good leverage, cool look (minus the safety warning sticker - I blame Ralph Nader, Helen Thomas and other self-righteous liberals). It only took me 30 years to figure this out, but you get what you pay for, cliche' I know, but true - no more of those 3/$1 hammers at Timmy and Tina's discout tools.
This Hamer Nails it Home!:
I purchased this for my 64 year old retired father. He was a contractor and is able to do just about EVERYTHING, so is very picky about his tools and toys and has about everything and mostly all top of the line. He loved the fact that this is stainless steel, is solidly constructed, has a nice curved rip end to easily remove nails, has a nice grip on it, balance is great, and feels nice in his hand. However, when he received it, he was disappointed that this was not made in the USA but Mexico... more info
Good alternative to a framing hammer:
This hammer does great for what it is supposed to do, pound in nails. The main reason I bought this hammer is it is shorter in length than my Estwing framing hammer, great for installing romex clamps and "conduit nails" between studs. I would have rated this product 5 stars except the rip claw does not work as well as my old Estwing, other than that the anti-vibe features work great.
