Sure Strike Drilling/Crack Hammer - 2-Pound Sledge with Fiberglass Handle & No-Slip Cushion Grip - MRF2LB

Estwing make the best hammers and this is no exception. Great weight and build quality to it.

This hammer was perfect, a bit more useful for my 2 year old, he can seriously hit this thing. I was expecting something a little bigger, but this is actually just right. Cheaper than a toy hammer, while retaining real work capacity, I’ll have to give it a 5 star review.

This hammer is a joy to use. Combined with masonary chisel, made easy work cutting 12x8x4 solid cement landscape stones and stepping stones to the exact sizes needed for the project. Note: let the hammer do the work!

Is it okay to actually love a hammer? ;-) My go-to hammer for most of my life has always been a 16 ounce claw hammer. And I suppose that is fine for hammering nails for picture hanging on drywall, lightweight projects, or removing nails with the claw backside. But this 2 lb hammer has a great feel to it, a bit more heft for some serious projects (or pounding tent stakes into the ground), and has become my new favorite. Still light enough for general nailing, but heavier for more serious stuff. And I even like the color!

I originally bought this hammer to add to my camping gear for use with tent pegs, but it has now become my go-to hammer for everyday use around the house. It is a good size and weight, and great value for the money. Hard to go wrong with Estwing products and this hammer is no different.

I have 2, 3, and 4 pound hammers. I use this one for precision work with cold chisels. Easy to control and heavy enough to get things done. Easy to grip handle with or without gloves. Proven durable for heavy DIY level use. Well priced.
