FiskarsPro IsoCore Framing Hammer - 16" Hammer with Shock Controlled Handle - Building and Fixing Tools - Orange/Black

solid well-made hammer, very well balanced and easy to hold and swing all day. The low vibration does work, and you can use all day with little stress on the hand and arm. The nail holder / magnet works very well - just a great hammer at a great price - highly recommend to trades people and homeowners

The ergonomics of this hammer are incredibly spot on. The handle design is the best I've ever come across; the handle is extremely comfortable and grippy with or without gloves, and I absolutely love the double swell shape. The swell in the middle makes choking up on the handle feel 100% natural, meaning you have no increase in grip fatigue even if you are doing something where you need a shorter swing or more control. At the same time, the long length gives you excellent power for something less precise like framing.Also, the nail setter work like a dream. No slips, magnet strength is perfect, both 8p and 16p nails set perfect pretty much every time for me. Great penetration depth so you can swing hard on the second strike without worry, and I was able to accurately place them within an 1/8" of my target while roofing. Of course you have to adjust to using it, but that's not hard. Most nail setters I have used are mediocre, I only use them for setting nails out of reach of my hands. But I started using the setter on every single nail after the first few with the Fiskars. No more smashed fingers when trying to set through hard spots or OSB!The only thing I would like to see is a lighter head version of this hammer, as I like higher striking speeds because they exhaust you less. Though that is personal preference, higher speeds require you to be more precise. And I can see how a lighter head with a good balance has its challenges, strength requirements mean maintaining a perfect balance gets difficult with steel with a head below 20oz. Which is why the really amazing hammers use titanium, and thus are super expensive.Oh, and the clear coat on the paint it a bit weak. So far I haven't had any nicks through the black, but there was tons of damage to the clear after a days worth of roofing. But eh, whatever, I buy my tools for their functionality. Though I do have to say the design of this one is particularly pretty for a hammer. Never thought I would think a hammer is pretty...All in all, this thing is totally superb, better than any hammer I have come across in its price range.

Very solid, balanced hammer. Built to take some of the punishment and vibration that is usually transfered to your hands. Great price point also.

I have had this hammer for 3 weeks now and am pleased with it. it is very comfortable and has really good balance. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the claw is a little short. You don't have the leverage to pull out nails and pry boards apart. I looked at my other hammers (many) and all have longer claws.

A hammer is a hammer is a hammer but yea, it does take some of the shock off which is what it's touted to do. So, would I throw away my hammer for this one? No. But if you need one, it does what it's supposed to.

Having done my share of framing, I always used only an ash handle 22 oz milled face Hart hammer with a straight handle. Every other kind of hammer handle just hurt my elbow. I know a lot of guys use a curved ax handled hammer. It’s a personal choice but wood straight handle 22 oz was my choice. I read the reviews and decided after breaking the handle on my old friend I didn’t want to spend 100$ and now that I don’t do much framing, try this hammer. Wow, it’s been great. I’m not sure what they did, but this hammer works and doesn’t hurt my arm after swinging it all day. I also like the price. I liked it so much I also bought their 20 oz flat face hammer for more delicate work where milled face might spoil the trim appearance. The handle is very comfortable, it feels good in use, and does not slip out of the hand. Most importantly no vibration into the arm causing elbow pain. This hammer is a bargain at twice the price. Just buy it.

What is to be said. It is a hammer. It appears it will be a good one that will last a while.
