The Estwing E3-16S is a 16-ounce straight rip-claw hammer forged from a single piece of steel. Smooth striking face, straight rip claw for pulling nails and prying boards, and the patented blue Shock Reduction Grip that absorbs vibration across long days.
Right hammer for general carpentry, framing, deck building, and any task where one-piece forged construction is the right pick. The 16-ounce weight is the universal hammer size — light enough for finish work, heavy enough for general nailing.
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.
