I remember my dad handing us kids hammers to work with when we were young.....he wasn't much of a fix-it guy or a tool guy. So his hammers were rinky-dink Chinese cheapo hammers....but I guess we got by well enough to put up fences and hang pictures. Fast forward to marrying my husband....the handyman, woodworking, tool fanatic guru. The first Estwing he put in my hands....it was a camp ax to chop kindling for the cookfire, one of those family hand-me-down tools that never seems to go away. I was in awe!

Years ago when I was working on a framing crew building houses, every guy on the job had a Estwing. Mine was a 28oz and when I gave up building houses I gave it to a new hire that had a no-name wooden handle 12oz hammer. Told to take care of it, and it would take care of him. GREAT VIDEO.

I was a scaffolding erector for many years, and my dad passed me down a 28 oz Estwing hammer (so old already that the handle had worn green instead of blue) given to him by his old foreman from 50+ years ago now. One of the ways we use these is to dig out the soil to enable us to level an area for a 10”x10” pad under each base jack, which support the scaffold legs. By the time I moved into the office, the claw section used for digging on that old Estwing was worn to a nub, almost non-existent, but with still just enough bite to pull a 16p nail. So that’ll give you an idea just how long these hammers stand up to abuse they were never designed to take. An amazing tool. I’ll never use any other hammer for framing as long as I live. Great vid!

These were the 'weekend warrior' fibreglass handle sorts, the head would go lose and come off or actually break through with ragged ends of glass and resin poking out as a plug still in the 'steel' head. My local hardware store guy told me i was using them wrong so i went to a proper toolshop and bought a Estwing. A little expensive in comparison, 30 years later i am still using it and its perfect, though a little rusty! Your video says i need to give it some attention... as reward for all its work!

Wow, this is weird. Just returned from my place in Maine tonight where I cleaned up this same type of Estwing hammer. Because it's the one I keep in my trunk (great for breaking up ice and other stuff), I put shellac on it; a trick I learned from you. I imagine that if I coat all my trunk tools with shellac every fall that should stop the rust. I did put 303 on the handle though, and although it's not a cleaning product, it got it very clean. Thanks again for your efforts. I always enjoy learning more about the history of tools!

That hammer brought back a lot of memories. My Father built custom homes in the Portland, OR area for over 40 years. I had 3 brothers & 4 sisters & we all worked for him at some point, whether or not we wanted to. He was a real ball buster & my best friend worked for him for only one day & quit. I did a lot of framing with an Estwing hammer, eventually getting a 'waffle faced' hammer that didn't slip off the nail head so easily. Unfortunately my finish cabinetry looked a lot like my framing so I became a Mechanical & then Software Engineer.

Ain't that the truth about paint! You spend hours prepping a surface and the paint doesn't want to stick, but dare ye to get a little bit of overspray on the dirtiest, greasiest surface in the world and it never comes off. My dad gave me a well used Estwing Framing Hammer a few years back. The handle was a nice olive-drab color. One day while walking through a lowes we saw a rack of brand new ones and I asked him when they changed the color from green to blue. He just laughed.

Hello MB! LOL That's funny! I'm not a patina fan but the old handles just feel very nice to me. They really hold up so well! Probably the most trusted tool ever made! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that came up better than I thought it would. There’s a documentary (how it’s made) I think that shows the Estwing factory. Love your videos. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

Nice job again. I find it difficult to believe you've got more hammers than pliers! A tip I've seen with regard to some plastics is to apply some heat from a heat gun to the surface and it brings back a shine to it. Not sure if that applies to nylon though.

Hello Stuart! LOL! You read my mind! I have a 25 year old Kayak that is Polyethylene I think, well it encountered a scratch and a buddy of mine said "watch this!" took out a propane torch and ran it over the scratch and POOF! It was gone! (The scratch not the Kayak!) I tried a little heat on the handle just to see but I was getting nervous! LOL I have a nice heat gun and torch... I wonder if it would work on these handles? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

very fun to watch and i enjoy the historical fun facts too...i actually bought my dad a 16oz wooden handled estwing hammer for father's day a few years ago and he still uses it. also, i have a friend of mine that worked on rent houses with me for a while, and used to do roofs with his dad...i asked if he had an estwing hammer (because he used a cheapo wooden handled no name brand one) and he said those tend to have legs...this cheap hammer is the best one because nobody ever takes off with it.

Hello Lee! LOL!! No Legs!!! That's a good one! Usually guys market them up all over to help stop theft but it doesn't always help! Thanks!!!

i did one of these. i scraped the rubber handle off and burnt off the parts that didn't come off. i built a stacked disc birch bark handle.

The funny thing is you don't find many Estwings all rusted up... Worn out yes but never just left outside to rust... This one was unusual for me...

I had to scrap a hammer because the synthetic handle was secreting this sticky oil. Nobody had used it for a few years so it was definitely the grip degrading from time. My dad bought it back in the late 1980s from Home Depot or Sears, honestly can not remember the brand. Similar one piece head and handle type, which made it impossible to replace the grip. The old wooden handles are easy to replace, ACE hardware has a great selection of replacement wooden handles. HD doesn't even stock them!

Hello Readyset! Wood handles are great for driving nails as they really absorb shock well, for general construction uses, steel is very strong but will effect your elbow if you drive too many nails! Thanks!!!!!!!

what a difference,when i was working on my house i bought a new framing hammer because the old fiberglass handle craftsman wasnt cutting it. as a mechanic a claw hammer is a no no,so i had no idea what a world of difference it makes.

Nice job on the handle. I have a lot of hammers, too. Built racks for some of them over the summer. Not a single Estwing, though. Not a huge fan of an all-metal design. Might get one some day, if the right one strikes me at the thrift store. Like a 12-16oz cross pein.

Hello Felix, I have a ton of hammers, I too do not prefer all steel hammers for driving nails, however you have to have a Estwing in your arsenal because it is iconic! I will be doing a video on some awesome hammers from my collection! You are going to enjoy it! Thanks!!!!!!

You're right; I should have at least one Estwing. Gonna make it happen.
