Very nice hammer, highly recommended, long lasting

Excellent estwing hammer, this one with the fiberglass handle isn’t USA made but it’s very good quality.

It’s a hammer

Estwing builds very good hammers and this one is no exception. The head is attached to a fiberglass handle, and the two pieces seem like they should last forever. Very comfortable to hold and swing.

I'm very pleased with how tough this 4 lb sledge is, and my first one got so much use that I needed another. The handle is strong and doesn't transmit vibrations very much. The steel head seems to be even tougher and can tolerate striking everything from wood to metal. It's also the right size to be useful with one hand or two depending on how strong you are. It works really well for splitting wood with a wedge and pounding in fence posts. I highly recommend it.

When you heft this hammer in your hand, it is at once menacing, and provokes deep thought because it is named an "Engineer's Hammer". This conjures imaginations of some demigod of engineering running around and thoughtfully, carefully WHACKING machines in just the right spot, at just the right angle, with just the right amount of force to instantly repair them from the outside in, leaving them working better than ever. Nothing like 40 oz of forged steel says "Let's handle this one like engineers!"In full disclosure I use this to indelicately whack things apart when I'm working on my car. It is also good for demolition.

Estwing makes quality hammers. I’ve only had this hammer a little while, but I have an Estwing claw hammer that’s been used heavy over the years, the handle and everything is still in very good shape. I expect this hammer to be quite good also.
