ESTEMRW25LM MRW25LM Framing Hammer, Multicolor, 708g (25oz)

As a Diyer who has a rubbish 14oz B&Q hammer for years, who has struggled using it. After watching a few videos on the correct hammer technique, I knew I needed a real man's hammer. And I saw the estwing hickory handle 24 oz hammer. Compared to my old hammer it’s a beast. Not only is the weight heavier the handle is longer. But it feels lighter because of the balance. Which allows you to use your wrist to hammer and hammer the nail in. I went from a novice to competent within 30 mins as got use to the hammer. Sometimes it is the tool, and not user error, which is the problem For those who worry about the wood snapping. A thirsty handle has a higher risk of breaking and wooden tools should be cared for and an important part of that is linseed oil so I scraped the factory varnish off and gave it a sand first and then applied linseed oil for 7 days and it looks beautiful now. When I applied the linseed (after taking the varnish off), the wood was thirsty. A thirsty handle has a higher risk of breaking. So scrape that factory varnish of and apply linseed, you won't regret it. It is comfy to use and the wood absorbs the shock of each blow. I build a shed, framing using 100mm nails for the frame and it hammers them in within 3 to 4 hits.

This is a great hammer for demo work and heavier jobs that don't require to much finesse. The milled face leaves a fair ding in the timber, so not for finish surfaces. The build quality is great, I was worried it was going to be a bit heavy for all day use but the whole thing is balanced nicely. Ignore that jerks review about being ripped off, he's the sort of person that sits in traffic hard up to the white line so motorcyclists cant get passed as easy because he thinks they should wait in traffic like the rest of us. Like I say a great hammer for demolition jobs, lath and plaster ceilings, floors, etc, the extra handle length comes in real handy and the magnetic nail holder blew my labourer's mind (which if I'm honest isn't that hard).

I was looking for a 'framing hammer' (a type of tool originating in the USA) Gardens of Covey was able to supply, responded to my email correcting my delivery details swiftly & the hammer arrived earlier than expected. The tool is well made & finished, the head appears to be cast steel & the handle is hickory, the finish on the handle taper were it joins the head might be better, but it is acceptable. In use the hammer drives large nails with ease, & extracts bent ones well(using the claw) I have not tried the magnetic nail holding facility yet. All in all I am well pleased & admire the efforts of people from the far east in providing quality products at affordable prices

A man's hammer!.. it's probably a little heavier than I like, but I thought I'd try it. Great value, nice quality

First things first, it's BIG and HEAVY! This not the kinda hammer for a diy-er. I bought it primarily for doing studwork, roofing joists etc which it excels at. The handle is the longest I've seen on a hammer, which helps to tap the tops of studwork into place, and drives 4inch nails home in just a few swings. Now for the negative: like I said, it's heavy. After a full day of using it, you're likely to have a sore wrist unless you're built like a Neanderthal. The other is the waffle pattern face which means you obviously can't use it for finish work. However I knew that was going to be the case, so I can't fault it on that.

Bought middle of January broke in march pulling off a fence board, great swinging hammer, drives nails well just thought it would last long than 6 weeks

Nicely weighted Wooden handle grips perfectly and shock absorbs well

Amareican framers hammer. Its a heavy hammer but when driving large nails its the only hammer i will use. Timber handle is great and no shocks onto your hand

Enough with this titanium crap! Yes it’s less fatiguing on your arm but it takes more then twice as many swings. Titanium isn’t magic, physics is still at play. Less weight at the same head speed means less fallow through at impact. Buy a real framing hammer Like this one and when you hit a stud or nail it will actually move. Great hammer, nice fit and finish, grain orientation etc. Side puller is the only possible improvement.

Amazing

Scraped the coating off with the teeth of a hacksaw blade for better grip but a non-aggressive texture. So far, seems pretty good quality.

Good product

den werde ich für immer benutzen
