[seediy]

Hi buds just bought a weight forward estwing hammer good balance and nice to hold , have you got one in your toolbox what do you think of it, or do you like stanley ,vaughan or any other make.

They look pretty space age dont they! Nice and shiny. Never used one, Just thought a hammer was a hammer really. Seems a bit pricey at £40!

I really can't stand these, but mainly as they're not as useable in my work (shuttering) .. the neck shape is a pain if you're trying to hammer around/through things and bends.. don't like the head either.. gimme my normal estwing any day!

Btw i do reeeaaaallly like the Stanley antivibe hammers... but again, not proactical.. the little bulge at the end of the handle fux u when hammering parallel/straight to a surface.. oh yeah, and it keep catching on your frog!

Hi kas i did a bit of shuttering some years back hard work hey bud, i liked using the stanley rubber handle model round shaft.

Hi greg i also have a leather handle i6oz est but not liking the handle to many blisters and shock waves.

got one and i do like it, took a bit of getting used to though. mainly gets used for the heavier hammering jobs, with a good old stanley for the more delicate touches!

Yep it's nothing but graft, and get that fking pour ready! Have to move into fix work now anyway as blew 2 discs in the gym!
