20 Best Hammer For Metal Stamping (2023 Updated)

I bought this and within a few weeks of using it, the metal peeled all around the edges ruining my project. Beadsmith said for me to return it to my store and Michaels refused to take it back. I even brought the email in from Beadsmith!.

I purchased this hammer for paintless dent removal., hail damage repair. It is just perfect for this purpose. Well balanced and perfectly weighted for repairing those roof rails. Highly recommended.

This lightweight hammer is perfect for my jewellery making. I’m a beginner so the price was attractive. Packaging was secure and the hammer arrived intact, looking shiny and new!

I bought this to assist with a couple of projects Im working on: A shed, well house and pool cabana. Each has flashing of course. I decided to spend the money on copper because I like the way it looks and theres a serious corrosion risk since I live in a coastal area.

I have a small brake to make bends in the copper and I use this tinsmith hammer to finish and install the flashing. This hammer is excellent and I am happy with it. Perfect balance and weight. The square head is made for metal work.

Any pro or amateur tinker is going to be happy with it.

Excellent hammer. This is my 5th one and it has a hard life but they hold up very well. Great balance and striking performance. Straight claw let’s you het right in to the corners. The long shaft and 25 Oz head weight give the hammer awesome striking power.

Definitely the best hammer for Formworkers and Framers.

I have two of these hammers, one 16oz. and this 12oz. one. The bigger one is beefy, and I use it when I have to pound the bejesus out of something. But this little old lady reaches more for this one for picture hanging, tapping pegs in furniture assembly, etc.

While I also have a tack hammer, two plastic head hammers, and a couple of dead bolt hammers, these are the best for all around use. Buy them and will them to the grandkids.

While I’m not a professional carpenter I’ve been using hammers for 40 years for various projects like room additions and decks, forts, skate ramps etc. I just recently decided to install about 1000 sq’ of new floors and baseboards along with new window and door trims and I figured it was a good time to get a new hammer as my kids and or wife are always using some of them too.

I wanted my own. I paid the extra few dollars to get a Made in the USA Estwing and it’s completely worth it. This is a great hammer. The look is nice. The design of the uppper neck into the head is both cool looking and practical by keeping the weight where you need it.

I’ve not got about 4 hammers at home and the feel of this handle (it’s a bit narrower than my other 16oz hammer) is great. I have fairly large hands but I appreciate the feel of his smaller diameter handle a lot.

Buy it. While the differences may be subtle, a hammer is something you use so much the small differences add up to a big difference plus it’ll last forever.

Once you use an Estwing hammer, nothing else compares, well balanced, good weight and will last a lifetime!!!!

well made product now i wont break any more hammer handles. I will probably buy a smaller one as well

I have owned many types of hammers over the years including Estwing and it is the best made hammer on the market because of its one peace design there are copies out there but Estwing is still the best.

Have never had a bad experience with Wilton hammers. This one is a little big for most jobs, but it makes a great compromise between my 12 oz ball-pein and my 4 pound sledge. Gets used on a daily basis, never had a problem with it.

Great SMALL sledge…interesting design (head) is not so good as a 1.5 pound ball pein. The handle is not my favorite…the whole thing is more of an alternative for a linemen’s hammer.

I rate this overall a 4/5 because the price was excellent for the quality. The final quality wasnt perfect. The overmolding for the grey on black doesnt line up exactly and the hammer head has protective coatings that look like they were applied in haste.

However, its a hammer. I plan to beat the snot out of it because. its a hammer. So it doesnt matter if it isnt perfect because I didnt pay that much for it.

You get what you pay for. These are fine if you just want to hit things hard, but if your work requires any precision or level of quality from your tools look elsewhere. Handles are already getting loose, finish is mediocre at best.

Not a professional item.

It’s a great starter tool for beginners who are looking into getting into jewelry making. I just have to figure out how to make sure how to get the turn handle tight enough so the removable hammer heads don’t keep falling out.

I’m sure there’s gotta be a trick!.

This is a high quality product. It is easy to use and the multiple attachments are great. Thanks to Michael’s for carrying this brand. I love it.

This Whammer Hammer is amazing quality and such good value for money and does the job perfectly making it the right tool for the right job. So glad I bought it.

Best tool to use ever!! Highly recommend this tool

Used all hammer heads and have no complaints, all do the job and at a great price and good quality.

Ive had 4 different chipping hammers. Two of the black spring handle hammers that are the absolute bottom of the line, barrel or whatever phrase you use for cheap. Then I got an Atlas. Its a really good chipping hammer.

Then I found out Estwing makes one. I own 3 other traditional Estwing hammers and they have been amazing tools for over 20 years. So I had to buy one of the chipping hammers. I have to say. I am not disappointed.

I would like to point out that the handle is not leather inspire of the description. Its molded and for all purposes seems great. I havent gotten any hot slag or metal. Hopefully its silicone. We shall see.

If I can edit this Ill add photos.

This product is fantastic and is definitely the best on the market!! I’ve tested my share of chipping hammers and once I purchased this one, my search for a great product ended!!! I have put this chipping hammer to the test daily and it remains in excellent condition.

If you are looking for a great chipping hammer that is durable and reliable, I’m telling you to look no further, I love the handle design and the hand grip is very comfortable. I advise everyone to stop wasting your money on those “spring-handle” chipping hammers, they are made from cheap steel and if you use them daily, you will always end up sharpening them nearly every 3-4 days until there’s really no metal left to sharpen.

After purchasing and using my first one, I’ve bought 3 additional Estwing BIG BLUE Welding/Chipping Hammers to give to my fellow welders as gifts! Thanks Again Estwing!!.

I’m a tech at a local dealership. I use and abuse my tools on a daily basis. So far this hammer has done everything I needed of it without fail. Has more vibrations than a wooden handled hammer but I don’t have to worry about the head snapping off either.

Great price for a good hammer. What more do you want?.

Love it, i use my hammer every day, got tired of replacing broken hammer handles. Great handle very secure. I think this will last for years to come. ( Fabricator/welder by trade).

Mac tools sells this literally exact hammer same color name and all for like $50 more. This line of hammers works well and is really high quality

The description says made in America but the label says made in Taiwan. I bought it specifically thinking it was an American product. It looks like an okay hammer but time will tell how well it lasts.

Im very disappointed.

Even though Proto is owned by Stanley the quality has remained high. Nice hammer. Same hammer is available through Mac, Proto and Stanley, so look for the cheapest price among the three brands just a different name on the handle.

Great for flattening classic style leather working brass and copper rivets.

Great quality hammer. Will last a lifetime, if you don’t lose it.

This is the best sheet metal hammer out there but at 94.00??? Any hvac store in your area will have this for around 65 bucks. Way too pricey

So this is marketed and labeled as a 12oz hammer yet it weighs 1 lb 4 oz. Almost exactly same size/weight as my 16oz Craftsman ball pein and larger than my other 12 oz. Any chance a batch of these got mislabled? Nice quality hammer, just a bit larger than I wanted.

Great weight hammer, build quality is excellent and balance as well. The only thing that was a bit frustrating is when removing the stickers on the wood handle, the residue was difficult to remove. I left the hammer in the sun to heat up and used a towel to remove it.

took a bit but now it’s clean. It would be nice if they used stickers that you could remove easily.

I purchased this to replace a lost hammer. It is a nice size for a general bench hammer. Seems as though it seems a little heavier than the older 12 oz I had. Still a good value. I like USA Made.

This was an impulse purchase and fit the need in my shop for a delicate peening hammer. The epoxied joint between head and handle is rock solid. But, I noticed when making my purchase, the uniformity of the circular grind on the peening head was quite variable.

I took a minute to look through the available hammers to find the one with the best symmetry. This is important for tasks like rounding over a rivet.

Used along with Pb blaster to free up bleeder bolts on my truck brake lines. Allowed spray to penetrate the threads by tapping on housing above bleeder. Perfect size. By tapping wrench finally broke loose.

Larger hammer would not work with limited access. Perfect tool for the job.

Bought mainly for automotive work, I prefer these over the plastic deadblow ballpein, as I can use the sides on them to strike. #sweepstakes

Sometimes you need to hit something hard but don’t want to dammage it, well this is the hammer you need heavy enough to drive it home, light enough to swing all day, and the handle seems to absorb most of the vibration.

plus it has a lifetime warranty what more could you ask for?.

While its not cheap, it’s by far the nicest most rugged brass hammer I’ve ever used. Been using a proto, much prefer the wilton.

so far best hammer i ever owned good quality a bit pricey at $80 but looking for something to last a long time.

The only complaint I have is that the pieces that you screw on don’t screw on tight enough and they turn while hammering. it can mess up a design if not careful. Otherwise, now that I know this, I just make sure as I hammer that they haven’t moved.

I like it works nice and makes beautiful impression love that it has more than one Pile of impressions

I’m new to jewelry making and I love the versatility of this hammer with several different heads, how easy it is to change them and that I can have 2 different ones on each end.
