There are a few reviews of the Estwing AL-Pro® on KZbin but yours is the best. Your video brings back fond memories of my younger days in Louisiana. Building houses in Lafayette ‘79 into the early ‘80s. The old timers I worked with used Plumb® wooden handled hammers. I preferred a 20 oz. Stanley® smooth face with fiberglass handle. It was heavy enough for framing but I could trim with it too. Hammers got heavier and heavier now they are trending lighter and lighter. I used to go to an oyster bar in Abbeville, (Black’s Oyster Bar?), is it still there? Louisiana oysters are the best! Best of luck.

I started at 16 years old with a 20oz estwing, but when they started being stocked in the U.K in the late 90’s I switch and have stayed with a 24oz long handle framing hammer. The Estwing is a bulletproof tool for using with the metal shuttering systems though, I can’t see anyone racking up a dwyidag wing nut with one of those Martinez hammers.

Man as much as I love Estwing, you have got to get your hands on either a M1 or M4 Martinez man. I honestly feel every carpenter should try one at least for a week and you'll fall in love. The Martinez hammers are built extremely strong and durable. I took the chance when I bought my first one and I'm glad I did! And we're a jobsite that all used to swing Estwing!

Estwing Shingling Hatchet: Roofing Stiletto 14oz: General hammer Stiletto 16oz: Wood handled framer Estwing 16oz Smooth Face claw: Finish work Estwing Driving Hammer: moving heavy timbers If I had to pick one forever, it's still be an old school solid steel Estwing, a 24oz rip hammer with a straight claw. When I hit garage sales or yard sales and I see an old Estwing, I just get it, no matter how many I have. I keep them all over, (trucks, shop, kitchen, garage, etc...). If I had to pick a favorite outside of my shingling hatchets, it'd have to be the Stilettos. They made carpentry work so much more fun for me, especially demo and quick framing jobs. And yes, there's a huge difference between the 14oz & 16oz even though it's only 2 ounces. I can't explain it, but when it comes to titanium, there just is. But Estwing is and always will be the king of hammers, period. I could do everything with just one 24oz framer if I had to.

As for rough framing using 12penny, 8penny and felt cap nails the 28oz estwing waffle the the best choice. You don't have to swing it fast to set the nail and if you miss and hit your finger it kinda bounces leaving a purple spot without taking the hyde off. Once set it pounds the nail in with less energy and swings. Plus its heavy enough to bump rafters over the bird mouth undamaged when the layout is a little off. That's why I hate 22oz hammers. You have to swing it with more speed to set the nail and if you miss due to it having a less wider head as the 28, count on it leaving a busted open bleeding finger. Especially when installing wall-brick ties. Try bumping a rafter over a little and it bust the rafter tail. The 28oz estwing is the best choice for rough framing. Period.

I’ll bet if you got an m4 you’d love it, it seems like that’s a lot more your speed. I have two of the Martinez’ m1 wouldn’t trade them for anything, a buddy at work had the aluminum estwing, he barely used it, it wouldn’t move things like he needed, doesn’t pull nails worth a dang, won’t pull things apart...literally broke in half pounding a nail....junk! Best hammer for the money for all out framing is by far the estwing builders hammer, followed by a good old 24 or 22oz estwing, if you want a sweet hammer with a few more tricks up its sleeve the Martinez m1 with a straight handle is a slick beast, but the Stiletto Ti-bone is also a great choice.

@fixinthecoast2672 жыл бұрын
ok, so personally, i would look at what work you are using the hammer for mostly. ive used all of these hammers and by far my favorite out of all of them has been the M4 martinez. the ALpro we have still hasnt broken and gets abused however to me, the Martinez packs a better punch, has a better and sharper claw and the side nail puller is seriously a game changer. now, M1 vs M4, having both, i love how hard the m1 hits with the leverage of the longer handle, however unless your really swinging the hell out of it, it tends to feel a bit awkward being so long (still a amazing hammer), ad hitting in corners is another issue because of how big the head is on the M1. lastly the M4....i seriously love this all around hammer, it hits super hard, the handle is the perfect length, still having great leverage for the side nail puller and the head on it is the perfect size for framing and finish work. the M4 is my every day carry and personally, i wouldnt change it for anything. M4 is my vote bud. Good luck with your choice, theyre all great. Thanks for watching!

I'm going to have to find someone with the Estwing to try it now.
@fixinthecoast2673 жыл бұрын
I personally think you'd like it. The Estwing has a very light comfortable feel to it, yet hits hard! Hard to explain but the hammer Just feels Dialed. You definitely have to try one

Did he call the Martinez heavy?
@fixinthecoast2673 жыл бұрын
Yes but hes referring to the feel of it, the weight of the Martinez in felt in the head rather than in the body like many other hammers. Me, Personally, i love how the martinez feels head heavy as it gives great momentum for the swing
