The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The ESTWING EW6-21BL is a masonryhammer made entirely of alloy steel, head and handle, in ESTWING's familiar one-piece forged style. It weighs 1.5 pounds, a balanced weight for general masonry striking.
It earns the top rating in this comparison, 4.8 stars across 388 reviews, with around 50 units bought in the last month. At $29.85 it is competitively priced against other mid-tier masonry hammers.
As with most full-steel hammers, the trade-off is vibration, since the data lists no cushioned grip, so the steel handle transmits more shock than rubber or composite designs.

Performance notes
The 1.5-pound head balances striking power with control, and the one-piece forged construction is ESTWING's signature durability feature. Expect more hand vibration than rubber-gripped hammers given the all-steel handle.
