This is a heavy framing hammer, let there be no doubt about that. My preference is for a lighter one, but heavier ones have their place. For this hammer, that place is when driving nails into dense pressure treated wood for me. The heavier hammer seems to do a better job with that extra mass.The hammer is comfortable in the hand and well balanced. It seems to be well made, fit and finish are very nice. I really like the nail holder to start nails, this is the first hammer I've had with one. It makes things go a little bit faster keeping the nails in one hand, loading the hammer, then driving the nail while getting the next nail ready for the hammer.It has a milled face and I don't know if that's a benefit or not. I've been driving nails for years and very rarely ... MoreThis is a heavy framing hammer, let there be no doubt about that. My preference is for a lighter one, but heavier ones have their place.

I've been driving nails for years and very rarely miss the head.Overall, it's a nice hammer to add to my collection. I still prefer my lighter wooden handled hammers if I have a lot of nailing to do. But this one definately deserves a specialized place.

I used this hammer to reinforce some rotted 2x4's in my shed and it hits hard. While I do feel vibration compared to my wood handle hammer, it's really not too bad at all. Depending on the job I still prefer metal over wood just due to longevity.However I don't know where they get the claim up to 10x vibration reduction (compared to...?), But it's not fatiguing by any means. Also it is a 28oz hammer head, so when you hit the nail it drives deep. The rubber part of the handle is big enough to fit two hands if needed for some reason. Also the head has your typically magnetic nail holder that you see on most every hammer nowadays. Overall I'm very happy with this milled face framing hammer, and with the metal handle even if you miss on occasion the handle won't break ... MoreI used this hammer to reinforce some rotted 2x4's in my shed and it hits hard.

I expect this hammer will last me a lifetime.One last thing, the grip is a little slick with my barehand, but when I wear gloves it is much better and seems to stick in the hand.

I had been wanting a hammer with a more modern hammer. This is a very nice hammer, it is heavier than any other hammer I have ever had. The magnetic nail set is a really nice feature, keeps you from hitting your fingers. It really sinks into the stud I was using as a test item. The handle is very comfortable which will make it easier to use the hammer.

This hammer is very comfortable & well constructed. The milled face is superb; It has a smooth coating finish' It hits hard & also its 28oz hammer head so it will drive the nails deep. The nail holder is magnetic make jobs fast accurate.
One would not expect to see hammer and technology in the same sentence, but this is a case where today’s technology really has been used to improve the simple hammer. Compared to an old school steel shaft leather grip framing hammer the “ShockShield” grip really does reduce the shock transmission to your hand. The length allows for greater driving force with each swing. The magnetic nail holder is a handy feature that allows you to start a nail without having your fingers in the way. The milled face prevents an angled blow from glancing off of the nail head. Overall it seems to be well balanced and is a good weight for framing.
This hammer is very comfortable & well made; constructed, The milled face is superb.. It has a smooth coating finish’ It hits hard.. & Also it has a 28oz hammer head so it will drive the mail deep. The nail holder is magnetic so it make my jobs much easier ; accurate & it’s a great hammer to add to my collection!
It works, but I can't stand the ringing. I work in concrete construction and I've used Eastwings, Plumbs, and this trash. I used a plumb for 20 years with no issue. This joker had some garbage coating that chips off and serves no purpose. I hit metal on metal daily and this thing is soft. My happiest day with it was the day I gave it to the new guy.
Milwaukee’s 28 oz. Milled Face Framing Hammer should have been around when I first started working construction as a college freshman. First day on the job I was driving 16d nails. The next day the boss didn’t even ask; he had me do other things on the site; he knew my arm would have fallen off if I picked up a hammer on day two!! This gem is a world apart from back then , and Milwaukee says it should “last a lifetime. My only question would be about the durability of the milled face my other framing hammers would be “smooth” in a month or two. The nail set system actually works! On all my other hammers I had installed magnets on the handle end, but the nail set magnet on this is strong enough that it picks up dropped nails!!
So far so AWESOME! Big Milwaukee fan and this hammer is awesome! Milled face has held up really well for a hammer at this price point, handle feels great, weight is real good. Says it has an anti-ring claw, but it rings anyways, not a big deal to me, but just a heads up.
Back when I was swinging a hammer every day all day mostly on framing and joists I used to think nothing could ever touch my beloved Estwing framing hammer which is a classic. It was like an extension of my right hand. Back in the day those were the main 2 things you needed when you walked on a job, a good hammer and a quality leather nailbag. I’m not sure I can find a nailbag as good as what I used back then but amazingly hammers are still as good if not better. If I’d had this to choose from back then I think I would have had to rethink my hammer choice. The thing that made the other such a good tool (and still does) was it was built really solid, had a good size milled face that took a beating well, the right heft and an excellent handle. It also had a well ... MoreBack when I was swinging a hammer every day all day mostly on framing and joists I used to think nothing could ever touch my beloved Estwing framing hammer which is a classic.

I’m not sure I can find a nailbag as good as what I used back then but amazingly hammers are still as good if not better. If I’d had this to choose from back then I think I would have had to rethink my hammer choice. The thing that made the other such a good tool (and still does) was it was built really solid, had a good size milled face that took a beating well, the right heft and an excellent handle. It also had a well designed claw and that is just about as important as the head. In a world where a lot of work is done with nailguns the claw is used about as much as the driving side. So the claw is very important. That said I really love the claw on this hammer. This hammer is right there with my 45 year old classic (and even at the exact same price) on all points but the claw might just be a step forward on what I thought was perfection. The shape and design is just very well done. Only time will tell if it has the lasting power of my classic but it sure looks to be made really well and I even give it a slight lead on a tool they’ve made a very long time. It has a lacquer coating I figure will wear off with time but it’s just a nice tool and that seems irrelevant. This is a workers hammer not some weekenders toy. If your tools are part of your livelihood you need something that will serve you day in and day out without a thought. I believe that is what Milwaukee has here. Obviously it is not a one size fits all since you need different hammers for different jobs. But as an old framer I can say this tool is dead on what a framer needs. I gave my old 28 oz Estwing to someone that was still swinging one when I left the carpenter biz and I kind of regretted that even though they I’m sure they put it to more use than I would. But with this I have something every bit as good and I think a little better on the claw side. I still find plenty to do with one in fact more than I had imagined. (as long as you have a home so it goes) Heck, they may have to pry a hammer from my cold dead fingers when I go.
