I’ve had a 2 pound and 4 pound blacksmiths hammer for 2 years and used them extensively. Both have fiberglass handles. Both are now loose through hammer head. I found this engineers hammer and purchased due to the solid steel, one piece construction. This hammer is amazing! Extremely well balanced and extremely tough. Knocking I beams into place, to smashing worn 60” excavator bucket shanks off cutting edges to breaking concrete around beam pockets, this hammer is unstoppable. Get it. You will be amazed with the power generated with out major effort. Review: Good value and quality - I was looking for a hammer of this weight (a little less than the 6 lb Groz sledge that I carry on the van) for thumping and bashing. I have an array of Estwing old school framing hammers, and others that I’ve owned and used for years. This hammer was also 1/2 the price of some of the other good quality 48 oz. hammers I was looking at. ## Features - TOP CHOICE OF GEOLOGISTS WORLDWIDE – The single jack hammer of choice for rockhounds, prospectors & contractors across the globe. - FORGED IN ONE PIECE – The most durable, longest lasting striking tools available are crafted from a single piece of solid steel and honed into the optimal design for use. - PATENTED NYLON END CAP – Designed to with an ultra durable handle end for setting bricks and more. - PATENTED SHOCK REDUCTION GRIP – Our molded vinyl creates a dimpled handle that is comfortable, durable & reduces impact vibration by 70%. - MADE IN THE USA – Since 1923, our tools have been proudly crafted in Rockford, IL using only the finest American steel. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DT0P24C | | Best Sellers Rank | #99,172 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #34 in Sledgehammers | | Brand | Estwing | | Brand Name | Estwing | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 372 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00034139620310, 00743153713082 | | Grip Type | Shock Reduction | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Head Material | Alloy Steel | | Head Style | Flat | | Included Components | Engineer's Hammer | | Item Type Name | Engineer's Hammer | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Estwing | | Manufacturer Part Number | E6-48E | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Warranty | | Model Number | E6-48E | | Number of Items | 1 | | Style Name | German | | UPC | 743153713082 743153712412 034139620310 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Estwing - **Color:** Blue - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Head Material:** Alloy Steel - **Item Weight:** 3 Pounds ## Images ![ESTWING BIG BLUE Engineer's Hammer - 48 oz USA Made Sledge Hammer with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - E6-48E - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Y45Sj2+TL.jpg) ![ESTWING BIG BLUE Engineer's Hammer - 48 oz USA Made Sledge Hammer with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - E6-48E - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ipwDfugXL.jpg) ![ESTWING BIG BLUE Engineer's Hammer - 48 oz USA Made Sledge Hammer with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - E6-48E - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712yJMIYbeL.jpg) ![ESTWING BIG BLUE Engineer's Hammer - 48 oz USA Made Sledge Hammer with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - E6-48E - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Bk+EBFMtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: It says 48 ounce.
