Awesome! I also see a well seasoned estwing hammer they just get better with age...My client didn't like the location of the short handrail I installed on her deck steps yesterday, so I went back today to move it. Of course there was nothing to fasten the lower SS upright to where she wanted it, so I had to very carefully peel back the leading edge tread board on the bottom step and the riser return of very weathered 20-year-old Cedrela and Red Cedar to install some blocking. I had to have my most carried, trusty work user with me--like having an old friend I can count on along.

Hard to go wrong with an Estwing, guys. I've had at least one for all 47 yrs I've been bangin' nails. I've tried a bunch of others, but still EDC an Estwing, mostly that 20 oz curved claw in the pic--old guy's hammer. I've got a 22 oz straight claw in the truck, the same in the shop, a 20 oz curved claw leather grip in the Vermont house, and a 22 oz long-reach in the shed up there too. My sons all have Estwings as does my wife.+1 for estwings!
Chazzy’s got the right tools for the job, sharp or blunt..
I wanna know do they give out freebies at the CRK plant?That’s cool! Do they give any free samples at the factory?![]()

The only one that ever failed me was a long-reach framer that I used a lot side-swiping to break off foundation snap-ties. I was taking the spring-braces out of a frame job, straddling one and swinging the claw end to dig in under the brace to free the nails. The head broke off, stayed under the brace-end, my arm and the handle swinging fully through and right into my junk. Just eye watering....![]()
Could do Knives and Hammers. I've certainly got a lot of both.I see a knife and estwing thread coming! I certainly have a few variants around the house.
