Hammer time
Youâll find this, my hammer review, on several hammer pages.I own them all and use them frequently.Stanley 54-002 FatMax 20 oz. Brick hammerStanley 56-003 2 lb. Blacksmiths hammerFiskars 750810-1001 4 lb. Club hammerStanley 56-004 FatMax 3 lb. Engineering hammerStanley 56010 FatMax Sledge Hammer, 6-PoundStanley 56011 FatMax Sledge Hammer, 8-PoundI am retired, I love the outdoors and hiking so I joined an all volunteer trail building crew. (LTDC) We re-route or rehabilitate long distance hiking trails in the NY/NJ area. Our crew goes out every other weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning in March ending mid December (weather permitting). We are a technical crew meaning we work primarily with rocks building steps and crib-walls. In the course of building steps we use lots of crush. Crush is gravel or crushed stone. We use crush under every step and for sustainable treadway. Well to get crush stone on the trail, we have to make it all by hand using hammers to break rocks. We break large rocks into smaller pieces using either a 6 or 8 lb. sledge. Then we break those pieces into smaller pieces usually using the 4 lb. mini sledge. We donât want to always be using the larger hammers because when they strike, that impact disturbs the entire area and kicks pieces out. Itâs hard swinging the big hammer and not make a mess. So we use lighter and lighter hammers to make the smaller and smaller sized crush we need . Every project needs crush and a lot of it. So all my hammers get a lot of use. I can say without a doubt that each and every one of these hammers has withstood the hardship of breaking a lot of rocks. I really have no favorites because I use every one depending on the size of crush Iâm making. The Stanley FatMax line is terrific. The anti-vibration technology is working. No one ever complains about using these hammers and we all use them every day. I especially love the brick hammer for making the final layer of small crush. It is so perfectly balanced and just the right weight so I can easily snap the hammer down to crack most rocks without having the hammer disturb the surrounding treadway. And I can keep doing it without my arm getting tired. The Fiskars 4 lb. sledge has a nice long 14â handle, large strike face with strike shock and vibrations being absorbed with the IsoCore shock control system. I own other Fiskars products and know and trust their lifetime warranty.We donât always use all the hammers every day but we do use all of them on every project.No complaints just happy happy. (longdistancetrailscrew. org)So Itâs a 5 star rating for each one of these hammers I highly recommend them all.

Great price to quality ratio.
I’m a new blacksmith and I was really getting stressed out trying to get a few good hammers to work with. I’ve spent as much as $150 for a hammer and as little as $10. Few of the hammers I’ve bought have made me 100% happy, there’s always something that annoys me, either I thought they were over priced or the quality was disappointing, but I have to say, this hammer is awesome, it has not disappointed me in the least! I’ve pounded the crap out of it and it’s holding up perfectly. It seems to be tempered well, the perfect hardness, as the face is holding up super well. Sure, I had to polish the face a little, but not much. I find myself using it a lot more than I expected, not just for sledge pounding, but for finer work too. 100% happy with it and the price/value is exceptional!

Awesome hammer!!
This is a great engineer’s hammer.Pros:1. All steel will last forever.2. Nice rubber grip, and antivibe handle is very easy on the wrists.3. Good weight for putting in stakes and hubs in stiff ground.Cons1. Slightly heavier than a hammer with a fiber or wooden handle.2. Every one on the job will want to “borrow” it.3. Slightly pricey, but my wrists are worth it.It seems to take less strikes to put in stakes and hubs, and that tends to make my job go faster. That and the antivibe, to me makes this a must buy.

Excellent Brick and Block Hammer
This is the second of these hammers I have used and it is as good as they come for a reasonable price. I have been a mason for forty years and hammers are as individual as the people who use them. This one is good for almost any common application.The price is what attracted me, you will probably lose it long before you wear it out.

Good, heavy well made brick hammer.
Not too long. Handle does a really good job of taking all the vibration out of striking stone. Flip it over and I use it to slide the pieces of flagstone into place that I’ve trimmed to my liking with my grinder and diamond blade. Better than smashing your fingers. I was going to buy another wooden handled one and very glad I didn’t. This hammer will probably out last me.

This is a great product. It has a comfortable grip which makes it easy to hold. The weight – 20lbs (?) reduces the number of swings at the nail. One or two strokes would put your nail flush or just below the material surface. The addition of the blade means that you don’t have to search for a utility knife. Its a beautifully made tool. I’m glade I purchased one. It will be on all my roofing jobs.

Sturdy, Heavy and Helpful
I’ve been doing some masonry demolish recently, and needed something heavier to hit a cold chisel with. This worked well for that purpose. It’s got a nice weight to it, it’s comfortable in the hand and the back is a solid chisel like piece, which works well to use as a pick axe against plaster, tile and what have you. The construction is solid. The steel doesn’t show an abnormal amount of wear after a few days of hard use, but it shows some. That’s to be expected, as I’m hitting concrete with it.I’m not sure how well the “AntiVibe” part of it works. I guess it just feels like a hammer.It’s a reasonable cost and does the job well.

Mazo de 3 libras ideal para demolicion en interior; Es mas seguro para mi porque es una sola pieza no como los de mango de madera que se sueltan.
