Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good hammer and is nice to grip. Does the job and feels nice.Customer Review: A very long hammer
Summary: 3 Stars
This hammer is heavy and long. It doesn't feel balanced and also feels a little akward. I am not sure why they made it so long. Not easy to use especially for a woman.Customer Review: Antivibe? Ringing drives me nuts!
Summary: 1 Stars
First, this is a very comfortable hammer (grip, balance, and easy on the elbow). The comfort comes at the expensive of keeping the vibration in the hammer.
After every strike, the hammer continues to ring for a few seconds. I thought I had a 5 star hammer until I helped a friend build a shed. My elbow felt great, but the continuous ringing for 2 days was enough to drive me insane! Even my friend was affected by the ringing while working several feet away.
He had the 20-ounce Antivibe and it does not experience any ringing. I headed to Lowes to buy a new hammer and tested these two models in the store. I sampled several of the Antivie hammers on the shelf and the 16oz/20oz ringing/not ringing held true.
If you can handle the extra weight, the 20oz Antivibe is a great hammer. It dampens the vibrations in a split-second. If you need a 16oz, I'd continue to look elsewhere if you need to drive more than a dozen nails per project.
Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is a great hammer, and far better than I needed. A welcome surprise. The antivibe is excellent for me since I have some minor nerve problems in my right arm from years on the computer. It's comfortable to grip and I'm just pleased with it.
