Useful Size For Many Jobs February 25, 2006
J H Murphy (Agoura, California USA)
Sometimes you really need an eight-pound sledgehammer - driving 60d fasteners into railroad ties, for instance. But a sledge is awkward to carry around, and that's where this Estwing works out. It's about the size of a typical framing hammer, and it fits into my truck tool kit without taking up too much space. I last used it for knocking apart a truck bumper from a rusted mount, for example. Useful for driving a masonry chisel through clay brick, or a sandstone formation at the edge of a retaining wall foundation. And it's just a handy little persuader for many odd jobs.
Remember the old saying, though: "Don't force it, get a bigger hammer!" There's a lot of truth to that - you are much more likely IMHO to injure yourself using a 16-oz hammer for a job which needs more force than you will with this hammer. At the same time, get out the sledge for the really big jobs - safer in the long run.
Three pounds is about the right size for me - this comes in 2- and 4-pound varieties, too, and there's a long-handled 4-lb version.
I give this four stars because it's very useful when used for the appropriate job, but it does have limits.
