The Estwing E3-22S is a 22-ounce long-handle straight rip-claw framing hammer. Heavier than the 16-oz general hammer, sized for production framing where each swing needs to drive a 16d nail home. Long handle adds leverage; 22-oz head adds momentum.
Right hammer for production framers, deck builders working long shifts, and anyone whose 16-oz feels too light. Shock Reduction Grip absorbs vibration that builds up across hundreds of swings per day.
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.
