<Vinman is less than huge> so yes approximately phunk sized
I have a small quiver of hammers:
-20 oz Estwing finishing hammer
-22 oz Hart "Woody" framing hammer
-17 oz Hart "Woody" finishing hammer
-32 oz Vaughn Framing hammer
those harts are clasic. i have one that was handed down. they still make em too. sick with the head let down into the handle, almost unfuckwithable. much more core and classy than a craptastic estwing.
Stiletto makes a nice wood handle model that is way less $$ than the fugly one slider posted. its pretty amazing, weighs in lighter than a finish hammer, but sinks 12d's as easily as any monster waffle face i've ever swung.
estwing is like the default hammer. industry standard.
kinda like marker bindings in the ski industry, if you don't really know it will work fine. However, if you know what you are doing you'll prolly make a different choice, for many reasons.
Hah, Vinman skis Markers! And not only that, but the TEAM models!Quote:

What kind of shit are you going to bust up with a 16 oz hammer, a triple decaf no-foam mocha apple-mint frappachino stuck in the cupholder of your Audi Allroad? Killing bugs with a 16oz Estwing is like skiing Spatulas on the East Coast... You might as well leave that shit to the big boys and stick with these --Quote:

Yes, I believe I just got schooled.Quote:

Not an Estwing, but sorta hammer related.

Obviously a slutty board or he wouldn't have had horns before leaving for work.
For an honest board without a belly knot fetish:

Eastwings are nice, but as mentioned they do break. I can't find them anymore but Plumb used to make nice framing hammers, have a 21 oz, steel head and body that has been faithfull for 8 or 9 years of framing use and a handfull more whacking shit around the house. Doesn't have the same reverberation in your shoulder like a Eastwing, pretty dead more like wood.
gotta go with 21 oz for framing, otherwise your just fucking around, if your sinking 16oz handrives get the big guy out or grab a gun, don't take more than two or three whacks with the right hammer.
The Hart's are nice finish and framing hammers, good swing weight.
Think Deathstick's aren't weighted right, they don't feel quite the same when you swing them.
Funny thread, 3 pages on hammer superiority.
Edit, that interchangeable head is cool, how exactly does it connect, and how far does that screw go into the hammer?
How much?
This is a hammer:

Good for driving wedges to split logs and general breaking up of all sorts of stuff.
