Can this hammer handle beating on steel forms ?** A: It can handle it for sure, but I wouldn’t spend $130 on a hammer to do concrete work. **Q: If the claw or face were to brake, can you order ones?** A: Hi, Thank you for getting in touch! Normally the claw or face doesn't break. Just in case if you face such situation then please contact Estwing(manufacturer) directly at 815-397-9558 for the broken part. I hope this information addresses your needs. We look forward to welcoming you as our customer. Yours Sincerely, Pervaiz Customer Support Representative Tempus & Co. **Q: Is the face replaceable or interchangeable?** A: No it is not replaceable or interchangeable. **Q: How does it compare with 14 oz steel or tungsten hammers?** A: You’ll get a better hammer with a stiletto or a Martinez. You’ll just pay $175 more. In my opinion it’s worth the ~$120.
