I am a union carpenter. I work for a concrete company .I BEAT ON METAL AND STEEL FORMWORK ALL DAY.THIS HAMMER STOPPED THE THE VIBRATING THAT I USED TO GET.I HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER MINE. IN MY OPINION A MUCH BETTER HAMMER THAN PREVIOUS MODELS. THIS PRODUCT DOES WHAT IT SAYS IT STOPS THE VIBRATIONS . EVEN WHEN DRIVING REGULAR NAILS .A WELL BALANCED TOOL

I really like this hammer. One negative is the curved handle doesn't slip in and out of my hammer loop and nicely as it could. Other than that it is as shock free as you can find. I recommended it to the other carpenters on my crew.

I was tired of using a 28oz Estwing in the concrete formwork business. Another great hammer but to heavy for me and tendonitis was setting in - ouch! A salesman at a nearby Home Depot introduced me to this model and it is truly a joy to use this hammer. A must have item I would say.

Amazing hammer. Works like a hot darn. Easy to hold when it gets wet. Packs quite the punch but does not feel awkward. My only complaint is the checkered face on mine wore down very quickly, not a huge deal however. It sure has made the tendonitis clear up in my elbow. Keep up the good work Stanley!

I have a lot of hammers. This is the best. A joy to use. What else can I say.

My 16-ounce Stanley Anti-Vibe hammer is my all-day tool, but needing a slightly larger framing hammer, I bought this one and was immediately disappointed. It's poorly balanced, has a rounded head, and took a beating after only one day's use. Like most companies, Stanley does a lot of things well, but this was not one of them. I opted for the Dead On DOS22S 22-Ounce 18-Inch Steel Smooth Face Hammer which has been my joy. Otherwise, I recommend the titanium Stiletto hammers if you're working with them all day.

This hammer works great for framing. It does take a little getting use to if your not use to a heavier hammer, but if you are doing any framing work its really nice to use.

I haven't had an opportunity to use this on a project yet, but it met all of my expectations based on the reviews. It is heavier than I anticipated, but rock solid.

I bought this the other day from ... and it is the wisest purchase I have made in a long time. Pardon my french, but this is one hell of a hammer. It beats in those nails like nobody's business.

You can use it to lay sod, fix the shower drain and chop firewood. It's great for opening walnuts and getting rid of the rabbits that are always digging in my garden and eating my tomatos. Damn rabbits.
