Bought all three new editions of these hammers and you can tell a lot of R&D went into them. From the second gen grip shared from other hand tools to nail holders and frame design its a beast.

Love the hammer – not much to say, it does what you would expect. I appreciate the size and leverage as a whole. I would recommend or anyone serious about their work and tools.

The handle is little big for the weight of the hammer.

A few years ago I acquired a 20 oz. framing hammer that was just a bit awkward but this one is so nicely balanced and easy to use I was pleasantly surprised. Although this hammer may look a bit odd compared to our usual visual when it comes to hammers it is very easy to manage. I also prefer the slot for placing a nail on this hammer vs. my other hammer. A nail will stay in place until you strike it into place and then proceed to drive it in. The only drawback is the length (and it’s very minor) – I’ll have to rearrange my tool bag to accommodate this hammer, but that’s a small sacrifice to keep this close by and handy. Very glad I got this.

Milwaukee 17 oz. Smooth Face Framing HammerJanuary 13, 2018 So if you are a craftsman, woodworker, handyman, or just plain DIYer then you use a hammer. These days hammers are a dime a dozen. Everybody makes one and they all do the same job, driving/removing nails and beating stuff. However in today’s market of lighter weight and ergonomics hammers have taken many new forms. They range in price from a few dollars to hundreds. If you are like me, you don’t use a hammer enough to make it worthwhile to spend hundreds on a hammer. However your elbow doesn’t want you to go to cheap either. When I was coming up my dad always told me there was only one brand worth their salt, Estwing. For years Estwing has been the only brand I have bought….until recently. Now as all of the new hammers have come out I have borrowed a few and used some at the stores. None of them have impressed me as much as my old faithful 22oz smooth face. And then I got my hands on the new Milwaukee. This has changed my view on hammers. It is lighter than my 22oz but hits harder. It is ballanced just right. They have designed it to be vibration reducing and I have to say, it works. I can use this hammer all day and not feel it in my tennis elbow and hands. As far as the claw goes I feel it has great leverage for pulling and prying. If you are looking for a great hammer for under $50 then this is the hammer for you.

Perfectly balanced, lightweight yet hard hitting. Great grip! I couldnt ask for a better hammer. Milwaukee makes the greatest tools.

Should last a lifetime. High quality hammer that is good weight and size for framing. Has nail holder and long handle to reach and give momentum. The milled/sanded face is excellent. The tag says extended handle. It’s covered grip is comfortable but could be fatter for larger hands. The I beam shape of the neck is dampening and has almost no vibration from a strike. Long hammer is not ideal for tight areas but open work is easy.
