Ultra Series Hammer, Short, 15oz Smooth Face, Blue Grip, E6-15SR

Oh she is a beauty. All steel, and made here in Rockford Illinois. For demo you cannot go wrong with an all steel hammer. I have wood, fiberglass and all steel. I buy only Vaughan and Estwing. This model has a nice side nail puller and is nicely balanced. I prefer the blue nylon grip to the leather (though I have a 20oz leather as the leather handle is REALLY nice), as it provides more shock relief, and lasts longer. I also want to point out how nice the claw is as it is thinner than a standard claw hammer, and it's at an optimal angle. The price is really nice as well to add the cherry on top !

I wanted one of these things for years. I have a heavier wood handled framing hammer that I’ve used, but I never liked it. Too heavy, too large, I just don’t do a lot of that kind of hammering plus I am terrible with a hammer to begin with. Now don’t get me wrong, I am a master craftsman. I spent 25 years in Hollywood building, miniatures for movies and I have a degree in industrial design with a specialty and product design. This is an excellent design. All one piece of for Steel, I just can’t imagine it ever breaking no matter how many times I miss and whack the neck on some Piece I’m trying to nail. The weight is perfect too. A little lighter than my framing hammer, I feel I have much better control and suddenly I’m better with a hammer. Just a wonderful design. I just hope the rubber handle material doesn’t crack overtime. I’ve seen some that did . Otherwise, a little expensive, but such a nice piece in the hand.

I am a professional trim carpenter. I decided to upgrade to some American made hammers. Estwing fits that without being high priced. I am assuming some of the other brands are great, but the cost would sting. This 15 ounce hammer is very nice, Has been good to use for what I do. Could very easily work for some framing also, with the nail starter and pulling features. Overall performing well and a good weight.

Love the short handle and balance of this little hammer. Have a larger framer for the big stuff, but for tight spaces and finish work, this is great.

Overall it’s a very nice hammer for a very good price. It’s USA made and feels really great to swing—much better than I’d expect it to anyway. The grip is also surprisingly nice. Do note that “15oz” is just referencing the weigh of the head. This hammer is actually heavier overall than my “20oz” fiberglass handle craftsman hammer—the estwing being about 29oz total and the craftsman being an ounce or so lighter. But the Estwing is balanced really well and feels like it’ll last forever. My only real complaint is the finishing quality isn’t perfect. Mine had some chips in the paint/finish and the head is 100% perfectly symmetrical. All in all it’s great for the money and I’d recommend it.

What can I say Estwing never fails me.bought this to replace my 30 year old Estwing hammer

This is a rugged hammer for sure. The claws are at a good angle to get between boards when doing demolition. The side puller has its place, but I won't be using it much for what I do. I have an Estwing 20 ounce straight claw that I have used for more than 40 years. This 15 ounce hammer is actually heavier overall than that hammer is by a couple ounces which surprised me. For those that don't know, there is a clear finish on the hammer when you get it, remove that from the hammer face with a fine abrasive like sand paper. The finish is slippery and I was bending smaller nails when I first tried it out when I got it. I am very happy with this hammer, it is built really strong and I am not worried about putting it to hard work. I have had it for a few weeks now and in that time drove a few hundred nails of all different sizes doing projects, or just fooling around driving nails in scrap pieces of wood I have laying around to get a good feel for how it performs. The handle is very nice, and larger in diameter than my old Estwing which I like a lot. I recommend this hammer for anything more than driving tiny brads.

I have a number of hammers with both wood handles and single forged units like this. I had the 19oz milled face brother to this, but wanted a smooth face for working on projects where the strikes may show (just in case I miss). These are good, honest working tools. Not super fancy, not exotic materials. Just good, made in the USA tools for doing honest work. Love them and glad to have them. Handle is comfy, swings well, delivers a solid strike without much bounce. If I was swinging all day, I might go for a wood handle, but for my work around the house, these are fantastic.

Produto de ótima qualidade recomendo muito bom mesmo pode comprar cem medo

Ottimo prodotto l'impugnatura è davvero ergonomica

Very nicely balanced hammer with all the features as described. Does the job well without going to those fancy titanium hammers. More than good enough for a DIYer.

It’s a wonderful product. But What else would it be its estwing. I have used them for 30 years never let me down. Don’t think about it. Just buy it.

Su ergonómia , acabados, peso, un exente martillo
