Handle needed a light sand out of the box. After that, perfect.

Every piece of theirs I own has outlasted the cheaper thing I bought first. Just start here.

2026-03-14Better balanced than my Estwing
Swing feels natural, no dead spots. Head hasn't loosened after six months on framing crews.

Been in my belt every day this quarter. Grip is grippy even in the rain. Knock a star off — wish it came in a lefty version.
