I use this around the house and for building furniture. Size and weight is perfect for me (I’m female). Will last a long time.

As a hobby carbenter you would think that you can go with any hammer. Not true. Should have bought this a long time ago.

I purchased this hammer as needed a new one to carry out some repairs on the roof of my house. In conjunction with a snickers hammer holder attached to my snickers trousers this hammer has been used for erecting scaffolding and then the repairs on the roof so have used it on scaffolding, driving a nail bar, pulling nails, driving nails and carrying around in a hammer holder attached to my snickers trousers. The hammer has been perfect for all these applications. Its comfortable in the holder, the grip is perfect, the weight has been perfect for this range of applications. Its also a lovely looking hammer in appearance. It feels robust and well made. Im sure it will last for many years to come.

This is the only metal-handled hammer I've ever used that adequately absorbs shock so you can use it all day.

This hammer is well constructed and will last a lifetime. Forged steel with nice balance. The handle is cushioned for a comfortable grip.

And, I am happy about the purchase. Great hammer, good price. I don't plan to buy another hammer for the rest of my life. It looks beautiful, feels wonderful in the hand, it is sturdy and feels like I can accurately use the tool with a precision and consistency when I need to be exact in my motions.A classic piece. Great addition to the tool kit. The blue rubber one is practical, the leather handle is beautiful. I went blue rubber, because I am a practical man.

I lost my Dad earlier this year. He was a scaffolding carpenter for 40+ years, and as far back as I can remember he carried a 20 oz. Estwing. He was so very good and his nickname was "The Nail Driver" on and off the job. Many who reads this are too young to remember civilian CB radios, but my Dad always had one in his truck, and his "handle" was The Nail Driver. I always associated him so strongly with that 20 oz. beast. So, I decided to retire my 20 yo Plumb and purchase an Estwing for myself. I use it all of the time as a hobbyist woodworker. But since I can only emulate my Dad, I adopted the 16 oz. claw hammer. It is a great hammer and I will cherish it as a remembrance to The Nail Driver. Sorry for the sentimentality of this review.

Estwing hammers are well balanced for work, comfortable for use, built to last as a legacy family hammer. My previous Estwing hammer was bought in 1958 and still in use. This one is yet another gift for a workman.

This is Great Hammer that will last decades with proper care and maintenance. I grew up in a builder/construction family and this is the hammer my grandpa used for 20 years or more I wish I still had the the original. Two hammer company's that were always most used and dependable were Vaughan and Estwing because they do a job well and last a long time. Lately I've been organizing my tools and upgrading some of them, so I noticed I didn't have a good medium size hammer, I have been using a workpro 10 oz. hammer for odd jobs around the house and a Vaughan 21 oz. Hammer for heavy duty jobs. I wanted something in the middle and I knew I wanted Estwing so I went with the 16 oz Curved Claw with Smooth Face, The smooth face so it won't mar whatever i'm working on and claw to give that extra prying power. The 16 oz. is perfect for control and accuracy and the metal tang means you don't have to change the handle or have a loose/wobbly hammer head. The grip is a comfortable, the plastic/rubber is very durable of course if you abuse it and use the handle to pry or scrape rough objects it's going to deteriorate and break apart, I have seen people completely wreck their tools using them in idiotic ways. The only disappointment was the Estwing Logo is NOT yellow, it's just engraved in the handle with no color added and that is not how I grew up with the logo looking, it was always yellow letters on a blue handle, I think you can still find it in some models but I'm not going to hunt it down so I'm just enjoy it for what it is. Made in the USA and at 16 oz you can do light to heavy work all day with this and it won't let you down for a lifetime. I added a pic with my vintage Stanley 6oz. ball peen hammer next to the Estwing 16oz.

A person can own a lot of tools, but it takes years to develop that special relationship one has with a hammer. You tend to remember all the things you built with it ---and associate those things with that particular hammer. For most of my life I owned a Belknap Blue Grass hammer with an octagon shaped hickory handle. It felt SO good to me that I went out and bought an identical hammer just to keep as a spare. I thought I was fixed up for life in the hammer department! Then one terrible day, BOTH hammers were stolen from me. Now I ask you: What sort of thief steals BOTH of your hammers? Don't get me started...The Belknap company went out of business and I could not get my hands on another of the same kind. I actually mourned those hammers in the same way that one mourns a friend who is not replaceable. I did have some POS hammer (with a head I hated and and an eternally loose handle.) I held on to that hammer for many years---cussing it (and that hammer thief) every time I picked it up.Then, when the time finally felt right, I bought this Estwing 16 oz curved claw hammer----a few ounces lighter than my beloved 20 ounce Belknaps---perhaps in recognition of my diminished arm strength. The Estwing swings good! I no longer build whole buildings these days, but I have knocked off a few smaller projects with the Estwing and am actually becoming fond of it. It does not transmit the shock of a hammer blow up your arm. The fine claw is capable of grabbing at any nail that hasn't been pounded below the surface. It looks pretty nice too. Superman would have a hard time getting the head of this hammer to loosen from its shaft---its all of a piece. Of course, only he could bend it in his bare hands.While the Estwing doesn't make you feel like leaping from a tall building in a single bound, it will allow you to build and maintain one... in great style.

After living in a house for 5 years and amassing a multitude of power and hand tools it became clear to me that I did not own a good hammer. I settled on the Estwing E3-16C based on its recommendation as the top "all around" hammer on an external product review website that reads Amazon reviews as well as tests the products themselves. The reviewers were spot on. This hammer is well balanced and sturdy, comfortable, and seems very well made. I love having a quality hammer for both big and small projects. Sure you may want something heavier if you're going to do a ton of framing work, but for 99% of jobs around the house this guy is perfect. It's easy and accurate to swing whether hammering in a small nail to hang a picture frame or banging studs together to make a header. Hey, it's just a hammer but I like it! It's amazing how much more enjoyable projects are when you have a quality tool, why did I use a crappy hammer for so long? Buy it and start fixing stuff!
