Review for Estwing Curved Claw Hammer, Vinyl Grip by Phil
9th August 2023

Had this hammer for over 20 years and it still has the original grip, rust free and the claws not bent. It gets used for lifting floorboards, smashing out bricks, shimming things over, propping things up, basically everything but it’s intended use, knocking nails in!
It’s definitely not been looked after but it’s almost as good as new.

Its a hammer, most will last for ever but will show signs of use. This hammer looks almost no different to the day I bought it 3 years ago. I suspect it'll be the same in the next 10.

This is by far the best hammer I have used.
The quality of the hammer for the price is amazing.
I now own 3 different weights in this hammer for different types of carpentry/building.

Would not go anywhere else, fits perfectly and is very precise.

Been using Estwing since I saved up for it when I was a 2nd yr apprentice. Still have that hammer 22yrs on. Prefer the 24oz long handle straight claw when I got the hang is the curved claw. Great for studding roofing etc. Curved is better for the more detailed work

Really like using this brand of hammers, spot on balance when using. Weight is perfect for all types of joinery and building. Always brings a lot of attention from other trades when using this quality tool. It’s a buy once tool so hopefully it doesn’t go missing.

I’ve had this hammer for over 20 years and it’s still as good (better) as day 1. Never tried another brand and don’t think I ever will as I’m sure this one will be passed down. Rare finding tools of this calibre in this day & age.

What can I say? This is an Estwing!
Build quality is spot on coupled with design and balance this is a hammer for life. I have had two in 42 years of trading the first was nicked. The leather handle version although I prefer the design as it is today.
I also use an Estwing lump hammer again the weight and balance are Bob on.

Probably the best general use hammer you can buy for a reasonable price. You can get lighter or heavier versions but this seems to be the size most people go for. I believe estwing offer a lifetime warranty on fair use, which makes it a no brainier!

Not all hammers are created equal, these things are expensive for a reason. They are always good to use, I've tried a few other brands, but they're a bit hit and miss. Excuse the pun. The thin shaft and waterproof handle are good.

Amazing hammer had mine since I was an apprentice, so it’s over 35 years old, still in perfect condition, cleaned regular with a bit of glass paper to keep head flat and smooth, incredibly strong hammer, for pulling nails. One of the best tools ever bought, at least another 35 years left in it.

Super strong and a comfortable grip with very little vibration. I have had 1 of these for about 16 years and is still going strong after all sorts of abuse. The Estwing unbreakable warrenty is a good selling point. Just keep the invoice and if you do ever manage to break the shaft under normal use Estwing will reppqce free of charge.

Super strong and comfortable. But pricey when it’s just a hammer. Nothing more to say as it’s a common tool. I think everyone knows what’s a hammer and what it can do lol. At the end of the day whatever the price and comfort, they all very similar to each other.
