Made in the USA and worth the money.
On the right is my harbor freight hammer that seemed OK until I put my hands on this ESWING PRO. The fit and finish is over the top and well worth the the extra coin.I will say that with the ESWING there is not much difference between the yellow and the red head. On the harbor freight the red is much softer than the yellow. Currently I am using it to set patio pavers and the softer red on the HF works better.The red on the HF wore out. I am ok with this. I have spent the last month pounding pavers with the poor thing and it took the abuse as well as expected.As good as the HF has been I love the ESWING. You definitely get what you pay for.
