The Estwing E3-28SM Framing Hammer is the brand’s heaviest production framing hammer — a 28-ounce milled-face hammer on a long-handle frame for serious wood-framing work. The 28-ounce head delivers maximum nail-driving force per swing, and the milled face bites into nail heads to prevent strike slip-off on a long framing day.
Use it as a serious carpenter’s framing hammer for production framing crews, sheathing and decking nail-driving where 22-ounce heads feel too light, heavy timber framing, demolition where the long claw delivers tear-down leverage, and any framing application where the heavier head shortens the strike count per nail. The shock reduction grip absorbs the strike rebound that the heavier head amplifies.
Estwing has been forging American hammers in Rockford, Illinois since 1923 — over 100 years of US tool making. Estwing’s E-series and B-series hammers are forged from American steel and carry the company’s lifetime warranty.
