Customer Review: Respect the Duck
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used and really liked Estwing's outstanding framing hammers, but I think I like this one a little better. It hits nails like a bomb, and really drives them through pressure-treated studs, etc. The manufacturers say that the head design puts a lot of energy "beyond" the nail which jibes with my experience, since the nails seem to jump into the wood at the end of the strike. The longer "duckbill" style hammer face lets you hit nails in narrower areas when you're building walls, etc. The hammer is also very low-shock, with only a minor amount of vibration conducted through the handle. The "cat's paw" style claw pulls 16d nails out of studs easily (one easy pull) without any blocking under the hammer head, which shows how well-designed it is. The hammer also has a nice nail set feature (using the claw and a little divot on the hammer)which lets you set nails higher up than you can reach with both hands.
On the down side, the balance of the hammer is fairly head-heavy, so if you want to use the 24 oz. version bear that in mind. Maybe not so good for people with smaller or weaker hands. Also, the fairly sharp edge of the hammer face can mar wood if you're not careful when toenailing, etc., but this isn't a finish hammer anyway. The odd duck shape of the hammer also makes me laugh. Overall, my favorite framing hammer.
