    Listen, if Thor ever needed a backup hammer, this would be it. The ESTWING Hammer is an absolute beast, built like it was forged in the heart of a star. The moment you pick it up, you feel an immediate surge of power—or at least the confidence to smash some nails into oblivion.

    Durability – Practically Indestructible
    This thing doesn’t just hammer nails—it asserts dominance. Whether you're hanging a picture or demolishing a wall (on purpose, of course), it gets the job done with zero hesitation. Dropped it off a ladder? No problem. Left it in the rain? It doesn’t care. Used it to fend off a rogue spider? Perfect weight distribution.

    Grip – Feels Like an Extension of Your Hand
    The rubber grip is so comfortable, you’d think it was custom-molded for your palm. I’ve swung this thing for hours and never once felt like it would slip. In fact, if I ever need to pass this down to future generations, I’m confident it’ll outlast my entire bloodline.

    Precision & Power – Nails Never Stood a Chance
    One swing, and BOOM—that nail is in the wood like it owes you money. The balance is perfect, making every hit strong, controlled, and satisfying.

    ✔ Feels great in hand—no awkward weight imbalance.
    ✔ You’ll want to start fixing things just for an excuse to use it.
    ✔ Can survive practically anything short of an asteroid impact.

    Final Thoughts – The Only Hammer You’ll Ever Need
    If you’re tired of cheap, flimsy hammers that bend when they see a tough nail, this ESTWING is the only hammer you’ll ever need. It’s heavy-duty, powerful, and makes you feel like a legend every time you use it.

    This hammer is very small. I gave it 5 stars because it's an estwing so it's still very well made, and works well to do the jobs it was made for. Though it is very small, I replaced it the same day I bought it. Do your due diligence, read before you buy. Don't be dumb like me.

    Size: 16 oz (Ounces)Style: ClawVerified Purchase
    I had an estwing years ago and was expecting the same thing. The handle is not as comfortable as it used to be. Maybe I just had a knock-off that was superior, or maybe they changed the handle shape, or maybe I had a lighter model. In any case, this is still a terrific hammer in all respects.
    My only real complaint is that, in disrespect to their customers, they covered it in ugly stickers that leave sticky filth all over the hammer when you try to take them off. So get your fingernails and rubbing alcohol ready and set aside 5 minutes to clean it, if you care about this.

    Dies ist schon mein zweiter Hammer von Eastwing. Ich mußte mich an die Gewichtsverhältnisse etwas gewöhnen aber nun würde ich diese Hämmer nicht mehr hergeben. Es ist Qualität und die kostet eben einfach etwas mehr. Ich gebe generell für Werkzeug für Haus, Hof und Garten lieber etwas mehr aus und habe dafür keinen Ärger mit den Produkten. Der Spruch wer billig kauft, kauft zweimal hat schon seine volle Berechtigung.
