  "I don't need to pull out many nails" is such a flex

  Oh wow, a hammer that works as a square, that <b>IS</b> awesome. &nbsp;Cudos to whoever designed that.

  After 27 years I have swung them all. I’m using the 14oz hickory handled stiletto but it’s not great for pulling nails. The best all rounder is the 15oz stiletto Tbone - it’s amazing and the side nail puller is priceless - if you’ve been swinging estwings forever, it feels like a feather.

  during my 30 plus years on the construction sites &nbsp;-the carpenters that I worked with that had elbow and hand pains were because they never learned how to swing a hammer correctly . I have used my Estwing &nbsp;for 40 years and its still my favorite

  That closing statement says it all about this man.<br>A real craftsman, worker and a decent all round good egg.

  The good thing about the cheap ones is that you can lend it to people and always get it back

  I don’t have a real use for that Boss hammer, but it definitely looks like a worthwhile purchase.

  Dad was a General Contractor and did everything from roofs to fine finish carpentry including building fancy furniture. He used an Estwing that I still have. He never had a problem with his elbows. On a roof his brother often helped and used a small roofing hatchet. They were masters.

  When I was a kid, my dad had a leather grip Estwing hammer that I now have. &nbsp;I am not a carpenter, but that hammer is the one that I go to. &nbsp;I also have a blue handled one, but its not nearly as comfortable as the leather one. &nbsp;When my son started setting up a set of tools, I got him an Estwing leather grip hammer.

  15 years solids with estwings. Bought and used for 10 years the TiBone ll. I absolutely love it. I won’t trade it. My wife says she is going to bury me with it. It was expensive but well worth it. It has the mag nail set and the side claw. It was just so much nicer to swing all day. When my crew borrowed it, they didn’t want to give it back. It’s the Lamborghini of hammers without the insurance payment or gas guzzling. The nail puller from stiletto feels almost like a toy it’s so light. But the other cat claws mushroomed out and chipped and this thing took all the hits with no issues. Makes the bags feel a bit lighter too.

  The 14 oz wood handle Stiletto is my everyday hammer.
