The Estwing E16C is a 16-ounce curved-claw hammer with the brand’s classic Genuine Leather Grip. The curved claw gives more leverage when pulling nails — better for finish work where you’re removing trim or repositioning boards rather than demolition prying.
Right hammer for finish carpenters, cabinet installers, trim carpenters, and DIY users who want the classic Estwing aesthetic with a finish-friendly claw geometry. The 16-oz weight is light enough for full-day finish work without hand fatigue.
Estwing has been forging hammers in Rockford, Illinois since 1923 — the original American one-piece forged-steel hammer maker. Every E-series tool is forged from a single piece of steel and made in the USA, with the patented Shock Reduction Grip or Genuine Leather Grip across the line.
