EstwingHammer - 20 oz Straight Rip Claw with Smooth Face & Genuine Leather Grip - E20S

Very sturdy and comfortable to use. Works well, looks great, and weight is just right. My only problem is that others on the site want to keep borrowing it. I told them to go buy their own! I now own one of each size/weight class to go as a set. Good product made in the USA. Buy one and you will be satisfied (they do have different claw choices if rip claw is not to your liking, so check the seller for more options).

This hammer is badass. One piece forged steel. Sweet leather grip. I'm bashing all the rats to bits. The littlest bits. Why did you pick this product vs others?:USA made

This is a good hammer. Leather handle is much better than rubber which tears up your skin. It doesn't have as good of shock resistance as a hickory handle has, but this isn't of much concern with smaller nails. This is a very good finish hammer having plenty of weight for driving small nails very good control and won't tear up your skin. For heavier nails (16D+) you probably want a longer hickory handled hammer. I use a 19 ox vaughan with hatchet type handle for these jobs.

Great product and top notch quality and finish. This product embodies the idea of paying a few more bucks and getting a world class product made in the USA. One solid piece of American steel (says that on the tag). That's the five star part of this review.The one start part of this review is that Estwing has been selling out and making many of their products in China lately. The quality difference is noticeable from 5 feet away. No thanks. I'll only buy their American products.

A beautiful hammer. It's a little big for what I needed, but it worked... I can't blame the hammer. Should last my lifetime, and then some.

Awesome hammer, a real classic, been around for years. Great balance and feel.Glad these are still made and better yet in the USA to boot.

This is my favorite hammer. Very high-quality have used these hammers for years. I just bought a new one and I absolutely love it.

Nice to see quality tools made in my country. Of course, you pay for that luxury. I was worried about durability of the thin neck, but it seems extremely sturdy; I couldn't bend it for the life of me. The handle is even more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures. There is a gray coating on the underside of the claw, might just be to prevent scratches from nail heads or to give it traction.-1 star because they put several of those cheap paper stickers on it that necessitate 15 minutes of fingernail scraping to get all the paper off, then acetone to remove the sticky residue.Side note: The ounce rating and a safety glasses warning is printed on the side of the head, which is not shown in the pictures. It rubbed off instantly with the acetone I was already using for the sticker residue, so it's an easy fix if that bothers you.
