The Estwing E3-WC Welding Chipping Hammer is a 14-ounce specialty hammer for removing slag from weld beads — the dual-end design has a vertical chisel on one end and a horizontal pick on the other for chipping slag in any direction the weld geometry demands. The 14-ounce balanced head is the right weight for repeat strike work without tiring the wrist.
Use it as the standard welder’s slag-removal hammer at the welding bench, a metalworking shop tool, a fabrication-shop chipping hammer, a beginner welder’s first chipping tool, and any application where weld-bead slag needs removing without damaging the weld itself. The forged single-piece steel construction stays true through years of repeat strike work, and the shock reduction grip absorbs the constant low-impact rebound that wears welders’ wrists down.
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.
