It's wery good quality hammerI'll like it very much

It’s a Stanley you know it’s good once you use it

Been using this hammer for the last year. Great hammer! Very comfortable, to the point that you can go through with some bad habits without problems. For that reason only I won't recommend it for beginners. Otherwise, this hammer is recommended and great!

I bought this about a year ago, I'm a very active blacksmith, and this thing is still in awesome shape, I highly recommend. I use it to shape old railway tracks into swords it sees alot action.

You’ll find this, my hammer review, on several hammer pages.I own them all and use them frequently.Stanley 54-002 FatMax 20 oz. Brick hammerStanley 56-003 2 lb.

Engineering hammerStanley 56010 FatMax Sledge Hammer, 6-PoundStanley 56011 FatMax Sledge Hammer, 8-PoundI am retired, I love the outdoors and hiking so I joined an all volunteer trail building crew. (LTDC) We re-route or rehabilitate long distance hiking trails in the NY/NJ area. Our crew goes out every other weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning in March ending mid December (weather permitting). We are a technical crew meaning we work primarily with rocks building steps and crib-walls. In the course of building steps we use lots of crush. Crush is gravel or crushed stone. We use crush under every step and for sustainable treadway. Well to get crush stone on the trail, we have to make it all by hand using hammers to break rocks. We break large rocks into smaller pieces using either a 6 or 8 lb. sledge. Then we break those pieces into smaller pieces usually using the 4 lb. mini sledge. We don’t want to always be using the larger hammers because when they strike, that impact disturbs the entire area and kicks pieces out. It’s hard swinging the big hammer and not make a mess. So we use lighter and lighter hammers to make the smaller and smaller sized crush we need . Every project needs crush and a lot of it. So all my hammers get a lot of use. I can say without a doubt that each and every one of these hammers has withstood the hardship of breaking a lot of rocks. I really have no favorites because I use every one depending on the size of crush I’m making. The Stanley FatMax line is terrific. The anti-vibration technology is working. No one ever complains about using these hammers and we all use them every day. I especially love the brick hammer for making the final layer of small crush. It is so perfectly balanced and just the right weight so I can easily snap the hammer down to crack most rocks without having the hammer disturb the surrounding treadway. And I can keep doing it without my arm getting tired. The Fiskars 4 lb. sledge has a nice long 14” handle, large strike face with strike shock and vibrations being absorbed with the IsoCore shock control system. I own other Fiskars products and know and trust their lifetime warranty.We don’t always use all the hammers every day but we do use all of them on every project.No complaints just happy happy. (longdistancetrailscrew. org)So It’s a 5 star rating for each one of these hammers I highly recommend them all.
