About Stanley AntiVibe Hammers
Stanley AntiVibe hammers are made with the professional and serious DIYer in mind. Made of one-piece double forged steel head and handle for swing and durability, the hammers feature a patented tuning fork design that helps reduce harmful vibrations. The ergonomically designed handles, with the rubber grip molded directly onto the shaft, allow for multiple grip positions. The handles also have a specially textured grip for improved performance in wet conditions and an enlarged handle design that helps reduce gripping fatigue. A specially designed head shape provides for better balance and a larger “sweet spot.”

I’m always looking for the tool that will help me get it done easier, faster, better, this hammer is my current favorite! The Stanley does everything well, I can punch in trim nails, knock in 3-1/2 duplex with relative speed and ease(It doesn’t beat a two foot framing hammer, but it’s also not an anchor hanging off my belt fit only for framing either)bash masonry, and demo old walls. I find that it really helps absorb the impact well and one of the biggest advantages is the handle provides FANTASTIC traction and grip! After having hammers fly out of my weak, sweaty hands after marathon framing sessions, this is a tremendous boon. The magnetic starter works very well, but don’t expect it to hold anything larger than a 10d. It’s also nice to have a hammer that isn’t almost a short-sword smashing your leg in with every belted step.
Having used this for a couple of months, i’m going to buy a waffle faced framing model.
For the price it is great the antivibe handle seems to do the job and the hammer feels well constructed and strudy with alot of the weight in the head and very light in the handle and neck which is nice it really drives the nailes well. Workmenship and polishing could be better look a bit ruff around the edges like it just came out of the mold but it works fine.
I love this hammer. I’ve used it every day for the last year on everything from rough framing to finish work. "The Better Mousetrap" review played a big role in my decision in the 20oz Stanley over the classic Estwing. It’s true that you really feel a difference hitting concrete. It’s also very well balanced. I can flip it and throw it with surprising accuracy. Not that it helps me build anything, but I feel very comfortable with it in my hand. I worked on a crew with some guys who carried wooden handled Stilettos. They’re nice, I liked them, but I’d still choose my Stanley.
This hammer does great for what it is supposed to do, pound in nails. The main reason I bought this hammer is it is shorter in length than my Estwing framing hammer, great for installing romex clamps and “conduit nails” between studs. I would have rated this product 5 stars except the rip claw does not work as well as my old Estwing, other than that the anti-vibe features work great.
I purchased this for my 64 year old retired father. He was a contractor and is able to do just about EVERYTHING, so is very picky about his tools and toys and has about everything and mostly all top of the line.
He loved the fact that this is stainless steel, is solidly constructed, has a nice curved rip end to easily remove nails, has a nice grip on it, balance is great, and feels nice in his hand.
However, when he received it, he was disappointed that this was not made in the USA but Mexico instead, but at least it wasn’t made in the East where most of the cheaper made stuff come from. Also, make sure to check the weight on this baby. It’s 20oz, which is good to nail in a few nails, but if you’re planning on a big project that requires hours, it might get a bit heavy.
The product was so well made and the price was great for what I paid for, that I didn’t bother returning it, but instead just bought him the same item in the 16oz in addition.
Recommend, but check out the 16oz too!
