ESTWING Ball Peen Hammer - 12 oz Metalworking Tool with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-12BP

Excellent hammer. I love the fact that is made in USA and forged from one solid piece of steel. Looks great, has nice feel and balance when in-use. I highly recommend these. The 16oz, 24oz, and 32oz ones are also well worth the money.

The ESTWING Ball-Peen Hammer is not only an exceptional tool but also carries the proud distinction of being made in the USA. Its design and craftsmanship truly set it apart in terms of both durability and functionality. The hammer's one-piece steel construction not only makes it incredibly sturdy but also adds to its longevity. I've used it for metalworking, shaping metal surfaces, and even for light automotive work, and it has consistently delivered outstanding performance. One standout feature is the dual-ended design with a flat face on one side and a ball-peen on the other. This versatility allows for a wide range of applications, from striking chisels and punches to shaping metal or even driving small nails. The handle, made from a shock-absorbing nylon-vinyl material, provides a comfortable and secure grip, reducing the impact on my hand during extended use. Overall, the ESTWING Ball-Peen Hammer is a reliable, all-purpose tool that any DIY enthusiast or professional can depend on for precision and durability in their metalworking and mechanical tasks, proudly crafted in the USA.

This hammer is one of the best sellers. Quality thru and thru. Well balanced and the perfect weight. Another Estwing homerun

It's more expensive than wood handle hammers, but you'll never need to worry about the head coming loose or flying off. The one-piece steel design does make it heavier than wood handled, so keep that in mind when ordering. It feels closer to 40oz than 32oz in the hand. The handle grip is comfortable to use and does a good job of not transferring vibration and shock to the hands. The sides of the shaft are not painted on mine, just polished a bit. I was kinda hoping it would be, to guard against rust, but it's not that big of a deal.

Only hammer handle that can hold up to constant oil,no matter what th field.

Nice hammer, impossible to break. Like all the Estwing stuff.

Good hammer for auto body work, Ball peen side however has a coating that easily marrs on first use. Weighted about right (24 ox) but could still be improved on the throw.

The highest possible quality, super high strength steel, comfortable handle, and amazing finish quality. Best of all, it is Made in USA.
