3 out of 5 stars A very long hammer   July 29, 2008
M. Rhodes (Memphis)
This hammer is heavy and long. It doesn't feel balanced and also feels a little akward. I am not sure why they made it so long. Not easy to use especially for a woman.

This really is a great hammer, and far better than I needed. A welcome surprise. The antivibe is excellent for me since I have some minor nerve problems in my right arm from years on the computer. It's comfortable to grip and I'm just pleased with it.

I buy my hammers 2 at a time, one for the shop and one for me to lose on the jobsites. I shop carefully for all of my tools and a hammer is a major player, useful every day. When you look at this hammer,you will notice that the handle has a definite curve.It also has an enlarged end. This is very important,it allows you to grip this hammer (at any point on the handle)with much less effort than a straight handle(common on wooden handles). Also, the soft feeling rubber that covers the handle,makes it even easier to grip. These features reduce fatigue and the potential for stress and strain related injury. 16oz. hammers are a good choice for light to medium framing jobs and trim work. While this or any hammer works well for demolition, I prefer my 28oz Stanley.The downside of that big so and so is,,When you and I strike ourselves;however unintentially,that 28 does a lot more damage. Straight claws are much more suited for demolition. You can swing full throttle with a stright claw and sink the claws into just about anything used in construction, RESTRAIN yourself from wacking your help. If you watch CSI then you already know that you might not get away with it.


5 out of 5 stars If I had a hammer...   December 31, 2004

"If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening - all over this land!
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
Ah-aaah
All over this land!"

As a hint to my family that I wanted a new hammer for Christmas, I repeatedly sang Trini Lopez's "If I Had A Hammer" song hundreds of times in the weeks prior to Christmas.

Great news - it worked! My family bought me this awesome Stanley Hammer. I've never been happier with a hammer! It hammers stuff real good. I've banged up my thumb a couple of times, but that's not the hammer's fault. I just probably shouldn't be hammerin stuff after I drink too much.

Anyway...thanks to Stanley for making such a great hammer, thanks to my family for buying it for me, and thanks to Trini Lopez for singing the song that made it all possible!

Gotta go now and use my hammer some more. As a great MC once said, "It's hammer time!"
