EstwingTinner's Hammer - 18 oz Sheet Metal Hammer with Forged Steel Construction & Leather Grip - T18

I've historically used a claw hammer for most of my life, and I don't ever find myself using the prying end for removing nails. It was just a striking tool for the most part. If I wanted to pry a nail, I've likely use a end nipper. The leverage provided by an end nipper provides a smooth action, hardly damaging the work surface.Over the years, I noticed I would need to bend metal. Reciprocating saw blades, laundry drying racks, etc. I tended to use a set of pliers to bend them to shape, but lately I was looking into how people bend sheet metal and stumbled upon this tool.One thing led to another and I ended up getting this instead of the highly-coveted Malco's. Estwing puts annoying stickers, but some heat and oil and they come off with little effort.The tool itself is heirloom quality and I can't wait to use it for general purpose.

Great hammer for metal work , nice weight to it for for clean bends and finish work

Great value been using it for years now

Great tool

Great metal hammer

I'd put it side by side with a Malco, or any other s/m hammer. Great grip, awesome vibration resistance, perfect weight, comfortable ergonomics, the durability and quality is unquestionable. As a professional in this field, I can tell you that this is a professional level tool.

Great hammer but like other reviewers mentioned it came with a mark already on it. Does not effect the use.

Bought this for my son, he says that it works great. Being a sheetmetal mechanic, like his father, he needed a hammer that fits into tight corners to shape and form.
