5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a hammer to replace my old Bluegrass framing hammer, May 26, 2003

I've used a 20 oz. Belknap Bluegrass framing hammer for 25+ years but have been unable to find an octagon replacement handle like the original. I've tried a few different brands of hammers to replace it but have been disappointed.

I recently purchased a Douglas 20 oz. framing hammer and am amazed. Great balance and feel. I won't miss my Bluegrass 20 oz. any more, though I still use my 16 oz. for finish work, siding, etc.

I can't recommend the Douglas framing hammer enough... Great hammer, worth every penny.

I have tried other hammers, Stilletto, Stanley (UGH!), Vaughn, etc. The Douglas is a work of art let alone an well designed tool. The Traction Face is stellar and won't mushroom after repeated wailing on a nail puller. The center nail pull is nothing short of amazing, talk about leverage. Magnetized nail set is very handy, and most of all the polished steel is just sexy. I also have a waffle face for demo work, and an 18 oz finish that is just as nice. American made, and well made at that.

This hammer is worth every penny! I use this hammer all the time in framing and demolition on remodel jobs. I am convinced that the balance of the hammer and the thickness of the handle are important in reducing the stress on my arm while hammering. This hammer has saved me quite a bit of time by allowing demolition work to be completed sooner and the ability to drive nails faster than with any other hammer I've owned. This hammer has all the leverage and driving power you will ever need. The magnetic nail set is also very helpful. You may not need it every day....but when you do need it you are grateful to have it. I would recommend that you also get a finish hammer in a addition to this one. The large head does make it hard to work with smaller nails and in tight spaces.
