ESTWING Drilling/Crack Hammer, 4lb Hand Sledge, B3-4LB

This is a great hammer. I use it when I go fossil hunting to crack rocks open. It is the perfect weight for me.

Definitely well made with sturdy handle being one piece with hammer head. Price not much more than the cheaply made ones from unknown companies who are impossible to reach to resolve problems. Used it every day all day for a week splitting big logs using only the hammer, an all-metal hatchet made by the same company and also made in the U.S. along with a couple of wedges. Split everything from old oak to fresh hardwoods that don't like being split. So far, all three Estwing tools I bought are great including the mallet, the hatchet and a claw hammer purchased last year. They make quality tools. Don't buy hammers or mallets with wood handles unless you always have perfect aim. I am 76 and out of shape with an aim that isn't always the best so sometimes the handle hits before the head of the tool. Wood ones will break at that stress point or become loose. Not with the one piece steel Estwing! Quality in tools is always less expensive in the long run.

Best hitting hammer I ever owed

If youre a welder, this is the one you want. You will not brake this hammer. It has the perfect handle length and weight to really smash some things and the build quality is second to none. You could probably hand it down to your kids when you retire.

I have a lot of sledge hammers where the heads have come flying off but this one will never fail me! I love it. So well made and has a cushion handle that helps out big time too. I feel rich having this sledge hammer and it will be one that I can pass down to my kids when I get too old to use it....which probably will never happen! I'm sure when I'm finally gone, there will be fights over which kid will get it! Yes, that's how great this is! Pretty too!

Quality here

its nice and heavy

Muy buena calidad

Fantastic mini sledge hammer. Four pounds of wedge mashing goodness. I use this hammer when splitting wood. Very useful, and compact design. I like that the head & neck were forged as one piece, so no chance for the head to fall off with extreme use.

Excelente 👌

Perfect weight and durability, had the same hammer for 12yrs before losing it in a move.

Another great Estwing product. Does exactly what its supposed to do really well. An expensive hammer but well worth the money. Normally swing a 16-inch 4-pound hammer. Took a little while to get used to the shorter Estwing, different balance, different swing, different hit. Am using it with the Estwing Sure Split wedges ( another great Estwing product ) to split hardwood blocks. Works a treat. One point to remember the 11.5-inch measurement is from the top of the hammer head and is not the actual handle length which is 9-inches.

I've had the same Estwing claw hammer for about 35 years, so these tools are made to last. My 4lb hickory shafted lump hammer developed a wobbly head, so it was time to replace it. The head on this is a bit narrower and more elongated than a standard lump hammer, so be aware of this before you buy. It wasn't a problem for me, I always wear impact resistant gloves when doing serious hammer work. Should last a lifetime. Comes coated in metallic blue paint and a clear lacquer, which is going to get scuffed, but it's a hammer, right? It's for hitting and smashing things, not posing with.
