Tools and Hardware Reviews of Estwing E30 Leather Grip Pointed Tip Rock Pick
Customer Review: GREAT ROCK PICK - AN OLD FRIEND.
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, I did not even know they sold these anymore. I bought this particular hammer, with the leather grip, when we first moved to N. Mexico which was at least 35 years ago. This hammer has busted a lot of rock between now and then and is still going as strong as it did the day I bought it.
This particular hammer is 22 ounces and the full 13 inches gives it enough leverage to do just about any job called for. Now I have owned and have used several of the Estwing hammers with the bonded and molded shock resistant handles and they are indeed fine products. For some reason though I simply find that this leather handle "feels" more appropriate for what I am doing. I suppose the nylon vinyl is fine and dandy and I certainly have nothing against it, but it just is not the same. I probably use the head of the hammer as a grip as much as I do the actual grip, wrapping my fingers around it to make precise strikes. The balance of the hammer allows this technique and in fact enhances it.
Now I said that this hammer does most of the jobs I need it for. Like anything else you need to use the proper tool for the task. This is not a cracker hammer. For that I use a four pound ancient relic I picked up in a used tool store years and years ago...it still has the short wooden handle and is still quite usable so I see no reason to replace it at this time.
I digress...This Estwing E30 is pretty close to indestructible if used properly but does require some care. The edges and corners should always be carefully filed and smoothed to prevent burs and splinters from ruining your strike. The handles is almost impervious to water but I doubt that leaving it exposed to the elements for months at a time would do it any good nor would a long, long soaking. Commonsense should rule here. My hammer has taken many a soaking and has yet to show any ill effects after all these years.
Absolutely the only drawback I have found with this tool is the color of the handle. I am very bad about laying tools down and forgetting where I placed them. I can completely lose a full length shovel in a three foot space. This handle, being brown, sort of blends in with things and is, at times, difficult to spot. I note that another reviewer here has recommended spraying some yellow paint around the middle of the hammer. This is a good idea...wish I had thought of that.
Recommend this one highly.
