EstwingLineman's Hammer - 40 oz Electrical Utility Tool with Smooth/Milled Face & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-40LM

Slowly working on owning one of everything estwing makes.....I am a timber farmer, and I bought this as a tapping hammer with the hopes that it would not mar timbers too much that need some convincing. It works well.

All Estwing hammers are made to the highest standards. Made in U.S.A.

Just don”t try to drive J hooks with it, need a heavier hammer for that.

I Wish I could have found a lineman's hammer with a leather handle like an old raggedy one I used to have. It might have been a Klein, but I don't remember. I bought an Estwing rock pick with a leather handle, but couldn't find any brand of lineman's hammer with leather. The rubber handle is fine, but I would have gladly paid more for leather... just because.

Great tool.

The hammer came fast, ordered it last night only takes 1 day. I love the hammer! This new estwing 40oz Lineman's/Engineer Hammer will be added on one of my Selection of Tools and Collection, I select my hammer for the type of job I needed and at the same time I'm collecting them. The hammer is Solid, the build quality is exceptional, lots of mass to it, it's versatile I can use this as Lineman's for driving and sinking large staples, striking bolts, lag bolts, and large Pole post nails, this hammer is Awesome! another American made tools. All of my tools and hammers are proudly made in America 🇺🇲.

I carry this hammer everywhere. It's like my security blanket, security being the optimum word. There are many places where carrying any kind of weapon is absolutely not permitted; in a major city, on the road in a strange state...Several years ago, my family and I went on a 25 day bus tour of Europe. I knew I couldn't take a gun (I wouldn't do that anyway). Also, any knife big enough for defence would have been unthinkable, as would a hatchet. I racked my brain. What could I take to defend my hotel room (or myself if I had to walk in a strange place after dark) something that would be totally acceptable to a sticky foreign customs agent? You guessed it, a nice, heavy, two headed hammer. It won't snag on your clothes, or your car's upholstery.This hammer fits just the bill. Compact enough to fit in a day pack, yet heavy enough (especially when welded with two hands) to cause serious trouble for a would-be criminal. If it's good enough for Thor...it's good enough for me.As with all Estwing tools, absolutely top-notch construction. It will last you the rest of your life with minimum care.

When my kids broke the handle on my 2lb engineering (horseshoeing) hammer smashing nails into "swords" on my anvil, I knew it was time to upgrade...This one will never lose it's head, and has shock absorption built in to the handle.The head centers the mass so that it doesn't twist as much as a traditional engineering hammer.An excellent blacksmithing or horseshoeing hammer.
