The Estwing E3-22P is a 22-ounce rock pick hammer forged from a single piece of solid American steel. One end carries a square face for driving chisels and setting points; the opposite end tapers to a hardened tip that splits rock, chips away at hard material, and pries open fossil layers without glancing off.
It’s the choice of geologists, rockhounds, and prospectors for precision field work — rock splitting, fossil extraction, mineral sampling, and detailed exploratory work. The patented Shock Reduction Grip is laminated to the steel shank and cuts impact vibration by around 70%, and the forged-in-one-piece build stands up to repeated impact on granite, quartz, and harder lithology without failing.
Estwing has been forging hand tools in Rockford, Illinois since 1923 using only American steel. Every forged-in-one-piece Estwing tool is made in the USA and carries the brand’s reputation as the longest-running American striking-tool manufacturer.
