Review: Perfect hammer for splitting wood - So happy to find a hammer made in the USA! I bought it to split wood and it does it well! Perfect weight to split my wood. Worth every penny! Excellent handling and well made.
Review: Good value and quality - I was looking for a hammer of this weight (a little less than the 6 lb Groz sledge that I carry on the van) for thumping and bashing. I have an array of Estwing old school framing hammers, and others that I’ve owned and used for years. This hammer was also 1/2 the price of some of the other good quality 48 oz. hammers I was looking at.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It says 48 ounce. Isnt that a 3 pound hammer?**
A: 48oz/16oz(per pound) = 3lbs
Unless my math is wrong. If my math is wrong it is a 27lb hammer.

**Q: How can this be “made in the usa” if it says “country of origin china” in the description? the one i bought doesn’t have “estwing” on it anywhere**
A: Mine is made in the United States. I assume that they still are.

**Q: Is this 3 lbs total weight? Or just 3lbs for the head weight?**
A: The entire hammer weighs 3 pounds 14 oz. meaning the head weight must be 3 pounds.

**Q: Is the handle oil resistant?9**
A: I wouldn't soak it, but I use mine for automotive work all the time and it hasn't degraded at all
