Going to look for Herkimer diamonds. Would this work and hold up?** A: I don’t own this hammer 🔨 but I am looking for the exact same purpose. I have other Estwing rock hammers and was hoping to find a “junior rock hammer” as well. From what I can tell this is the same steel, has the same hammer head, just a different shorter and slightly different pick end. There’s no reason it wouldn’t work. It’s lighter, shorter, and less pointy. Seems to fit the bill for kid rock hammer uses. Otherwise just get the 13oz rock hammer they offer. **Q: I just received my 12 oz hammer and the square face isn't perfectly square. The right side is about 1 mm taller than the left side. Is this normal?** A: To be honest when I purchase a sheet metal hammer I look it over real quick to make sure there's no cracks in the hammer. Outside of that I put it in my tool pouch and use it when I need it for the day. If your concern that your not pleased with the hammer I suggest you contact the manufacturer to have it sent back or even replace for a new one. **Q: How many oz** A: Read the description. 12 oz **Q: Why does this say 1-2 month shipping if its a prime item** A: Good Question shipping is always 1 two days ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice qualities sheet metal hammer *by M***E on April 20, 2026* Great hammer for the price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Thor hammer *by A***Z on March 25, 2026* Good sheet metal hammer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice hammer *by J***W on March 5, 2026* nice hammer ## Frequently Bought Together - ESTWING Tinner's Hammer - 18 oz Sheet Metal Hammer with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - T3-18 - MIDWEST Aviation Snip Set - Left and Right Cut Offset Tin Cutting Shears with Forged Blade & KUSH'N-POWER Comfort Grips - MWT-6510C - Midwest Snips MIDWEST Bulldog Aviation Tin Snip - Straight Cut Regular Tin Cutting Shears with Forged Blade & KUSH'N-POWER Comfort Grips - MWT-6716B --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4481983-estwing-tinners-hammer-18oz-sheet-metal-hammer-t3-18-made](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4481983-estwing-tinners-hammer-18oz-sheet-metal-hammer-t3-18-made) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
