Pros: Construction, Balance, Head Material
Cons: None
Top quality from a legacy brand
My father owned a hardware store back in the 60's and 70's and sold Estwing hammers. They cost more than the other brands he carried but you could tell they were better quality and seemed to be favored by professional carpenters and tradesmen. I've wanted a tomahawk to carry in my car's emergency kit and ordered this Black Eagle as soon as I saw it on the KC website. It's nicely balanced, not too big, but big enough to handle any job most folks would need a tomahawk for. The one piece construction means it should last a lifetime. The comfortable rubber handle is a nice bonus. There are dozens of fancy 'tactical' tommy's on the market for a lot more money but this Estwing is a bargain alternative you won't be afraid of actually using.
