    What specifically makes a hammer suited to tiling and flooring?

    • +1

      Agree - this does not look like a specific tiling and flooring hammer - those hammers have different heads, specifically rubber mallets and flat areas to knock the hammer and wider bases.

    • +2

      I think it's just a good hammer, not specifically for tiling and flooring but for any kind of hammering, ripping or demo. Popular Mechanics rated this E3-16S as the best overall hammer in 2024. https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/g46650853/best-h… They say that this hammer is good "for light-duty household tasks, as well as all-day hammering projects that require a bit more oomph".

      • I agree about this being a good hammer but wouldn't list demo (and ripping?) under a 16oz hammer.
        it's very light weight. If I had to do any amount of demolition I'd buy a second, heavier hammer to accompany this one.

    • +5

      I own this hammer and damn I think I've done everything but flooring and tiling with it

    • +6

      Can crack the tiles first time, every time.

      • +1

        Yep, even if you were not going to do it in the first place.

    • The shallow claw makes it probably not ideal as an actual carpentry hammer? Considerably shallower than most hammer I use.

    Good deal for Maxwell.

    Been holding out for the 20oz version .. tempting!

    • 20oz was on sale a few weeks ago but not this cheap

  • -1

    Looks like the one that Trinity killer used

    • No it doesnt… That was a framing hammer with a checker face… Do you even binge..

  • Nailed it with this deal? I’m sure it’ll drive sales up by appearing on Oz Bargain and really hammer the competition! ;-)

      Your bolding insulted some people’s intelligence 😂

      This was a hit and a miss

        Estwing and a miss

    • +1

      why would you post this

    • Many US hammer producers are moving to Taiwan

  • +2

    This hammer will literally last a lifetime. They're great.

    That being said, the 16oz is a bit light for this shape, but would still do the job.

    • Doesn't look that durable to me:

        "American Steel" imported from China via Mexico and rebadged

        • +1

          It's not legal to import steel from China or Mexico and rebadge it as "American steel" on the product listing (which is here: https://www.estwing.com/product/rip-hammer/). Theoretically they could be importing steel and then recycling it immediately to make "American steel", but the USA is a net exporter of steel scrap, so that seems a bit of a reach.

        First hand experience..I’ve still got one from when I was an apprentice in the 90’s (26 years). It’s still fine with scratches from kicking around in a tool bag and being used. Pretty much the only hammer I’ve used for that duration.

        $80+ for 16oz Estwing at Bunnings.

        • +2

          I still have a hammer I bought in 2011 from Masters as an opening special.
          I think it was under $5.
          Used it for floor and ceiling rebuild, kitchen rebuild, back decking, planters and outdoor furniture/benches. Still going strong. A little bit of surface rust, but that builds character.
          Never really understood the need for an expensive hammer. However for $37, seems like a deal.

          • +1

            @Tiggrrrrr: Using it for hours at a time for years, end result would be no different. Comfort is definitely different. Same for most tools though.

        • +2

          We have to assume that nothing has changed to the product or manufacturing process in the last 26 years for that review to be relevant though.

          • +1

            @dontpanic: Looks the same. But who knows. It’s just a well balanced bit of hardened steel. The only thing about it that makes it better that a cheap Stanley metal hammer is the balance. They all just bash things pretty much the same.

    • I went and tried the weight of these at a hardware shop. I agree the 16oz is too light. Best to get the 20oz imo.

      • +2

        If you’re a sparky knocking in cable clips for 8 hrs a day. The lighter one is better. Right tool for the job always. If you’re demolishing or doing heaps of wood work, the 20oz is the go.

    • This hammer will literally last a lifetime. They're great.

      So does my hammer from a $2 shop i bought 20 years ago.

      • -1

        Weird flex…Maybe you should change your name to mrsvaluepack. A $2 hammer would last 2 days on a worksite. I'm sure it's fine for hanging pictures on the wall though sweetie. :*

        • If you are at a worksite where hammers only last 2 days, you are using the wrong tool!

  • -3

    This is a good hammer but the Fiskars is better.

    "American Steel"

    didn't know that was a selling point.

    Why would I buy a $37 16oz "USA STEEEEEL" hammer + shipping vs a $9.98 20oz solid hammer from hammerbarn

    Rather just use a nail gun anyway, what kinda rube uses a hammer to install shit tonnes of nails

    • +1

      Every carpenter that uses a nail gun has a couple of hammers in his toolbox as well - and he'll use them.

    • +1

      Nail gunning tiles to your floor? I'd pay to watch that.

      • +1

        you use a fancy carpenters hammer for tiling? I'd pay to watch that

        • +1

          Nope. I just watch other people tile.

  • +1

    Any good deals on the 20oz?

    • +1

      Camelx3 says lowest price point is $33.76. I have a price watch for when it drops to $50. Fingers crossed.

  • 16 oz vs 12 oz?

    So this is good for general use around the house?

    • 12oz is good for beading.

  • +1

    Needed a new one, thanks OP

  • +1

    Do they have any left handed ones in stock?

  • ….if I had a hammer…

  • +1

    Just bought one.. thanx
