I used it today first time. It was great I was getting rained on all day but gloves in hand I stripped concrete forms and beat concrete and pulled nails I love this thing. Wet gloves the shape of the handle it stayed in my hand while I swung hard Yes I know it’s not a wrecking hammer but I’ll buy another if I break it.

My favorite framing hammer, period. Have never had this hammer break on me and it swings like a champ! Especially for the price, no other hammer can compare.

Great balanced hammer. I've owned 1 for 12 years, it just broke while framing, bought a Milwaukee hammer as replacement and it broke in a day. I've been swinging this thing around for 2 weeks and it's so good that I'm ordering 5 more cause they're hard to find. I'm a contractor, estwing and stilleto are my go to hammers.

This is a great hammer, has good feel, I like the waffle face. For someone who's doing plumbing; the wood handle is not optimal for what we do. I see guys breaking them left and right. We arnt framers. We arnt the most precise trade with a hammer.In new construction there's a lot of things that we're trying to knock out, break, pry, move, nail. A metal shaft is better in my opinion.

Perfect framing hammer, for me and my application, it hits hard and is an extension of my hand, not overly heavy and not too light, the hatchet style handle offers an excellent angle of approach for driving 20P. To 60P. Galvanized nails without much effort. . . And keeps my knuckles off the lumber. As far as the handles go, the grain orientation to the head is quite ideal, sometimes in Perfect alignment. The varnish on the handle is there to do 2 things, keep it pretty until it's purchased and allow you to see the grain of the handle. As a general rule, never purchase a wooden handled striking tool with a painted handle, paint hides flaws. I always sand the factory varnish off, and properly apply boiled linseed oil. Preserves the wood and helps with the grip in wet weather.And just as a side note, your hammer should fit you, not Billyray gorilla hands, work smarter not harder. . .and if you find your breaking handles. . . They make nail pullers for a reason. . .

This is easily the best hammer I have ever had and I have had quite a few. I’ve never had a titanium one but my guess is short of that this is about as good as you can get. The head of the hammer is large enough that you don’t miss your target even when you become fatigued so you can stay no productive all day. I a try to take care of my tools but of course I am hard on them sometimes too, and I don’t feel like this is going to snap on me anytime soon, I’m sure you could break the handle if you we’re trying to but that is the trade off of wood. I have had lighter hammers but this one swings like it doesn’t weight what it does but still packs the same punch that it should. The only thing I am not a fan of is the fact, and honestly I am surprised at Estwing, that it is made in Taiwan. I would pay $10-20 for an American made product, but this is still a quality product.

Long story short this is the best freaking hammer I've ever owned. For framing work I'll never go back to my steel handle 20oz estwing. The hickory handle exceeded my expectations when it comes to shock absorption and as the title suggests the 25oz head his like a freight train, no way a Martinez can compete with this hammer in framing work. I wouldn't use this hammer for lighter work, the long handle is not really optimized for intricate motions i might pair this hammer up with a 14oz titanium hammer for finishing work.There is what seems to be a natural weak point along the grain, I'm sure in time the handle will split along this seam, hopefully I'll get done decent use it off it before this happens.

Enough with this titanium crap! Yes it’s less fatiguing on your arm but it takes more then twice as many swings. Titanium isn’t magic, physics is still at play. Less weight at the same head speed means less fallow through at impact. Buy a real framing hammer Like this one and when you hit a stud or nail it will actually move. Great hammer, nice fit and finish, grain orientation etc. Side puller is the only possible improvement.

This is a great hammer for demo work and heavier jobs that don't require to much finesse. The milled face leaves a fair ding in the timber, so not for finish surfaces. The build quality is great, I was worried it was going to be a bit heavy for all day use but the whole thing is balanced nicely. Ignore that jerks review about being ripped off, he's the sort of person that sits in traffic hard up to the white line so motorcyclists cant get passed as easy because he thinks they should wait in traffic like the rest of us. Like I say a great hammer for demolition jobs, lath and plaster ceilings, floors, etc, the extra handle length comes in real handy and the magnetic nail holder blew my labourer's mind (which if I'm honest isn't that hard).
