Estwing ESTE20S 20 Oz Rip Hammer With Leather Grip, Straight Claw, (Ounces)

It sits in your hand like it was meant to be there. A real hammer, not some flimsy, forgettable excuse for a tool. The Estwing—20 ounces of truth. The grip, worn smooth by years of work, still tough, still there for you. You feel it, the weight, the balance, the cold honesty of steel. A hammer to keep, to hold, to pass down like an old story that never loses its edge. One day you find it in a toolbox, buried beneath memories, and picking it up feels like shaking hands with the past.

What more can I say. Expensive, but a great hammer, very well balanced and a joy to use.

Really nice feel to this thing!!! Feels like it'll last a longg time, comfy in hand, looks nice though I will say as some have mentioned the finishing was maybe not quite as expected, few minor imperfections and stuff but, it's a hammer, its not gonna stay all too pretty for long :)

Love Estwing gear, this hammer is a really good quality leather handle that feels nice and is quite slippery when new but breaks in really quickly, lifetime guarantee you only buy Estwing once and it lasts forever, my oldest axe being 30 years old, My reason for buying this type of gear is when I snuff it, and my kids are selling all my tools they will make more money from all my Estwing gear and Bosch power tools to keep them happy because god knows none of my boys knows how to use any of it. 🤣

Great quality but expensive

Nice and easy to hold, feels balanced in the hand, effortless in its use

I bought two of these 16oz rip claw hammers for two-people removing plaster board and they were very effective functional tools. Buying two hammers together did rather show-up inconsistencies in their finish. The leather handles were of markedly different diameters. The polishing was better on one tool and their weight varied by 25 grams. Most notable was a difference in balance between same two hammers. OK, the price was very good and these are undoubtedly functional tools but Estwing's quality control evidently is not what it was.

Perfect hammer
