The Estwing E3-24S is a 24-ounce long-handle framing hammer forged from a single piece of solid American steel. The heavier head and extended handle turn each swing into more work — fewer hits to set a 16-penny nail and more leverage for prying sheathing, straightening studs, and tearing apart old framing.
It’s sized for framers and demo crews who want more striking mass than a 22-ounce hammer delivers. The forged-in-one-piece build removes the weak point at the head-to-handle joint, and the patented Shock Reduction Grip is bonded directly to the steel shank to cut impact vibration by around 70% through a long work day.
Estwing has been forging hand tools in Rockford, Illinois since 1923 using only American steel. Every forged-in-one-piece Estwing tool is made in the USA and carries the brand’s reputation as the longest-running American striking-tool manufacturer.
