The Estwing E3-20SM is a 20-ounce straight rip-claw framing hammer with milled face. Same proven E3 design as the E3-20S smooth face but with the waffle-pattern milled face that bites nail heads for slip-free strikes. The 20-oz head sits between the general 16-oz and the heavy 22-oz framers.
Right hammer for users moving up from a general carpentry hammer to dedicated framing, who want slip-free strikes of milled face without committing to a 22-oz head.
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.
