I've had very good luck with Estwing. They make pretty much the Cadillac of slag hammers imo.

Both Vaughan and Estwing are great hammers but pricey. Last I heard Vaughan always still made in the USbut not sure about Estwing.

Last I checked Farm & Fleet sells Estwing hammers. Not sure if they're in IN, but they're in WI, IL, & IA for sure.

I used to love Estwings. I have had every hammer and are they make, and every single one has been stolen. At least a dozen framing hammers alone.
Now I use the modern new Dewalt lightweight hammers and they are twice as good. And not one was stolen in the last 9 years. |

This reminds of when Lowes stopped selling Stanley tape measures. The clerk said the Craftsman and Dewalt tape measures were just as good. I was nice enough to inform them that they were wrong about that.

Thin, brittle plastic at that. Milwaukee makes a much better tape measure. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Home Depot dropping a brand? Never been dun befo. They had good clearances when they dropped Ego battery tools. Picked up their 18" chainsaw for cheap. Used it for a couple year for either saw stuff or its battery to help out my leaf blower. I gave the saw to my father who is getting a bit too old to be yanking on a starter cord. |

They have started going downhill. That said they are still a LOT better than Lowe's. And Lowe's is light-years ahead of Menards. |
