Title: big disappointment
Review: As a framing foreman, I use my hammer a lot. Everyone on my crew either uses a 22oz hammer with a curved handle (too heavy) or a Stiletto 14oz hammer with a curved handle. The Stiletto feels great when you've got room to swing it with speed but in tight spaces, good luck sinking that spike. Plus it's 100 bucks. I thought this Estwing hammer would be perfect- medium weight, elbow-friendly curved handle and an indestructible fibeglass handle. Results: EVERY HIT SENDS THE SHOCK INEXPLICABLY TO YOUR WRIST, easily as bad as an all-steel hammer. You have a small face for hitting the nails and the milled face flattens out in a couple weeks. The sharp right angle top of the face reaches out to nibble on your thumb when setting nails. The "fiberglass" handle responds to blows and gauges like plastic and ends up looking like a dog chewed on it. Two thumbs down!!!
