Estwing Engineer Hammer, 2.5 lb Forged Head, 14-Inch Hickory Wood Handle, Induction Hardened and Tempered for Demolition, Brick Setting, Tile Work, and Construction, Model #62312

I love Estwing hammers. American made, heavy duty. The hammer will outlast me. This is a solid engineer hammer (mini-sledge). Solid weight, good handle size/length. I use mine for driving stakes, timber nails, and light fence posts.

Estwing has built every one of my family members homes over the years with other various hammers and just like it's counterparts they work flawlessly

With a few minor touchups, works well for blacksmithing. Varnish on handle makes handle slippery, I sanded it off and burnt the handle.

This was a gift for my 7 yr old, future geologist. He uses this to smash rocks, especially Roxbury puddingstone, but even will use it to break up granite. It’s used roughly, left out in all weather, and is incredibly tough

Not made in USA

I love Estwing hammers but gosh dang it! Why are there so many stickers on their tools! There were 6 stickers on this hammer! One too many if you ask me. All you need is the company name/logo that’s painted on the handle. I had to peel and take a wash cloth and scrub the adhesive off.

Not sure what happened but this thing is made in India. Is it that hard to make a hammer in the US nowadays?
