ESTWING Welding/Chipping Hammer - 14 oz Slag Removal Tool with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-WC

Excellent hammer, bought it to use for kids geology and rock digging and hammer has performed beautifully. Light enough for my 6 years old to use. Yet strong enough for me to use on semi-hard soil/material

Hobbyist welder here, not a pro, but, wow, just from an aesthetic perspective, this hammer is a thing of beauty and it rings like a tuning fork when you tap it. An LLM tells me the ringing is because of the hardened steel, one-piece construction. Some people on reddit find this annoying, and I guess a jobsite full of "ringing hammers" or "estring" hammers might not be great, but there are several suggestions for toning it down. For me, with an admittedly naive view, it looks, sounds, and feels like quality.

This product is fantastic and is definitely the best on the market!! I've tested my share of chipping hammers and once I purchased this one, my search for a great product ended!!! I have put this chipping hammer to the test daily and it remains in excellent condition. If you are looking for a great chipping hammer that is durable and reliable, I'm telling you to look no further, I love the handle design and the hand grip is very comfortable. I advise everyone to stop wasting your money on those "spring-handle" chipping hammers, they are made from cheap steel and if you use them daily, you will always end up sharpening them nearly every 3-4 days until there's really no metal left to sharpen. After purchasing and using my first one, I've bought 3 additional Estwing BIG BLUE Welding/Chipping Hammers to give to my fellow welders as gifts! Thanks Again Estwing!!

This is a great chipping hammer for any price. Ill start off with my one negative which is the handle is made from some rubber material, so do not put it down on anything hot or drop anything on it. Other than that, you cant find a better chipping hammer than this. It is very durable and has sharp edges to get into anything you need to, I have gotten lots of use chipping away slag and sometimes using it as a normal hammer because it can take the beating. I have barely seen any rounding of the edges and when they get bad enough I am planning on just taking a flap disc to them to clean them up a bit. I would highly recommend this hammer to anyone in need of a quality chipping hammer.

Works way better than my old chipping hammer
