Review: Sweet framing hammer axe thing - So far been using for over a month and I can dig it. I've had estwing and stelito framing hammers and this riggers axe is what I grab for first thing every morning and every day I find better uses for it compared to the framing aspects of things. It's quick and not to heavy but heavy enough to get the job done quickly. In my opinion 5 Stars for show
Review: A perfect tool for the collection - I grew up with many roofers in the family and am quite familiar with its design. Although many (including myself) would argue that there is a proper tool for a proper job, I find this tool to be the one I pick up most. I received this axe within the last two weeks and have already put a fair amount of miles on it. I love it. The edged came plenty sharp and the construction seems extremely durable. I have used it for everything from a rough frame in, to shaving limbs for kindling. The edge seems to hold an edge well and the handle seems to allow for a solid grip even with wet hands. The one thing that I would like to note to new users is that a tool will only last as long as its user will allow it to. That said, even with cleaning the tool after use and oiling, I did notice some rust forming on the bit. After contacting the company, they were very quick to respond as well as helpful in finding a solution. For that reason, I have decided to give this product a five star review due its quality and the quick assistance from the company. This item is a definite go to for backyard, job site or camping duties. All around solid tool and a must have for any trade/outdoorsman.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the difference between this and the estwing carpenters hachet?**
A: The riggers axe has a milled hammer face and a longer handle. The axe head may weigh a little more also.

**Q: Does it include sheath or some type of edge cover? If not what is the recommended option on sale here for that purpose?**
A: I ordered the Style N Craft 94-027 Camper's Axe Head Sheath with mine.  Works like a charm.

**Q: does it come with a sheath**
A: The Hardcore carpenter hatchet sheath fits perfectly. I keep mine razor sharp.

**Q: Does it have a smooth face?  I want to be able to pound metal tent stakes without destroying them, which a milled face would do.**
A: It has a milled face. I think the carpenters hatchet has a smooth face but the handle is not as long

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this tool
*by M***. on August 25, 2025*

This hammer is great. Just keep your head back. Dude!. Anyway. The axe slices through the logs and 2x4s in the wood pile. Chops great. Needs a sheath so you can handle in the weather, and take with ya. Looks a kottle spooky in the hand when ya walknupnon a cap. Acording to my friend.
