I just need a hammer for fix-em-up jobs in the house. Would the 20 oz be too much for me?** A: Yes,the 20 oz. With the leather grip WOULD BE TOO MUCH! The 12 oz. Or 16 oz. With the blue cushion grip will do just fine for general fix-it jobs around the house,and be a lot more comfortable! P.S. I have three grown daughters in their thirties, who own homes,and 12 oz. Hammers are all they have ever used. **Q: 16 Ounces are the weight of the hammer? or whole weight?** A: 16oz is the head weight which is determined by weighing just the head of the hammer and about two inches of handle. **Q: Does the handle soften over time?** A: No It really does not soften but for a small amount. The clear coating eventually wears off and the leather handle starts to get a patina from the oils from your hand, ( and dirt). I love these hammers but I'm mostly a trim carpenter. I do not frame. **Q: What kind of clear coat is on the leather?** A: Don't know. Its durable, though the coating will eventually wear off and the leather will patina. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESTWING Hammer - 16 oz Straight Rip Claw with Smooth Face & Genuine Leather Grip - E16S - Estwing - DFH-12 Rubber Mallet - 12 oz Double-Face Hammer with Soft/Hard Tips & Hickory Wood Handle - DFH12,Black Red & Yellow --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1139281-estwing-rip-hammer-16oz-smooth-face-leather-grip-e16s-made](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1139281-estwing-rip-hammer-16oz-smooth-face-leather-grip-e16s-made) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
