The Estwing E3-16BP is a 16 oz ball peen hammer with a smooth flat striking face, a rounded ball end, and Estwing’s patented shock reduction grip. The head and shaft are forged in one piece from solid American steel.
A ball peen is the everyday metalworking hammer — flat face for driving punches, cold chisels, and star drills, ball end for peening over rivet tails and shaping sheet metal into curves. The one-piece forged construction removes the head-to-handle joint that eventually loosens on wood- and fiberglass-handle hammers taking daily metal-strike use. The shock reduction grip absorbs 70% of impact vibration, which matters on repetitive chisel work that otherwise travels straight into the elbow.
Aimed at auto-body techs, machinists, blacksmiths, mechanics, and homeowners working with sheet metal, rivets, or punches. A core hammer to keep in a mechanic’s box.
Estwing has forged these hammers in Rockford, Illinois since 1923 using American steel.
