Title: Built to last a lifetime and makes a great gift
Review: Although the "genuine leather handle" of this E16S hammer is more like a slick hard lacquered wood, its quality is unsurpassed. Oddly, this model is about 3/4 of an inch shorter than theEstwing E3-16S 16-Ounce Rip Hammerwhich has a nylon handle. Between the two, I prefer the nylon handle, but having a steel tip on the handle's base is helpful for positioning and nudging pieces into place. As others have noted, this is a classic for good reason: time-tested design and simply a beautiful tool to own.
