      That double peen is soft face, harder rubber on the left, greenish softer rubber on the right. I have one just like it. I think it came with a mesh organizer to hammer the corner clips all the way in when assembling.

        Double peen but soft face? Should both peens be hard? Or what makes it a true double peen? Sorry I’m just an IT nerd I have no idea about hammering.

    Estwing 22oz smooth faced ripping/framing hammer. Bought one about 30 years ago when I was doing roofing and framing work. Still use it all the time. Comfortable and durable, great for construction and demolition work. Does a nice job digging out stubborn nails. If I could only have one hammer in my tool bag, that’s what it would be.

        What evere requires…extra ‘persuasion’. I legit use it for projects around the house. Last use was few weeks ago. Aided in breaking up my porch cement slab. Sometimes it’s used for erasing hard drives at work. Sometimes as an axe replacement for old lumber etc.

        It’s a 20lb head. The original wooden handle broke one day. Had a welder friend fix the handle XD. So it’s another 10lbs of ~1.5inch construction grade rebar. It will out last me. Hoping to make it an heirloom.

          Aren’t the impacts painful? I’ve used small hammers that were all steel and they weren’t there for violence unless you like waking up the tendinitis demon.

            Surprisingly no. Infact it’s about on par with another 16lber I’ve got with the fancy fiberglass and stuff built in.

            I think the sheer mass absorbs most of it. The rest is technique. Slightly loosening the left hand grip just before impact. Then again, not much is resisting this monster either.

    Rock. I love bolting climbing routes and cleaning up new crags.

    Edit: actually my favorite hammer ever, like seriously I fucking love this hammer, is what I call a machinist hammer. Because its what I used as a machinist, and machinists can make in a hour with a little bar stock, and just works the best for machinist work. Its a double peen( the double peen in the picture isn’t accurate) made from all steel. The weight and balance is so perfect for me, it feels so natural to use, unlike any hammer I’ve ever used. I still love my rock hammer tho

        Sorry to disappoint, and this will sound weird but I’m not comfortable posting something unique that I genuinely value. I’d rather post a dick pic. I wasn’t trying to point out that the macro missed something or got something wrong(but the picture of the two peen is a dual face soft blow). I guess I can’t define machinists hammers because they’re whatever material and shape you want it to be. I didn’t actually didn’t make mine, I just found it in the bottom of a box of 100+ hammers of every variation you can imagine.

      I’ve always assumed it was some sort of ornate, ceremonial hammer made of pure gold that they keep in a special chamber, but now that you mentioned it, I really hope it’s just a claw hammer they borrow from the maintenance guy.

        “Hey Frank, can we borrow your hammer? We need to see if the pope is dead.”
        “Did you submit a maintenance ticket for it? I don’t see it on my task list.”
        “Oh, no, but I figured if I just called you…”
        “Gotta have a ticket for it; I get in trouble if I spend too much time on other things.”
