Estwing hammers are the one-piece American-forged striking tools that have sat in carpenter tool belts for nearly a century — drop-forged from a single bar of American steel, head to handle, so there’s no wooden handle to split, no fiberglass shaft to snap, and no epoxy joint to loosen. The blue nylon-vinyl Shock Reduction Grip and the polished mirror-finish head are the details most tradesmen recognize on a jobsite from across the room.
The PB-18 I-Beam Nail Puller is an 18-inch cat’s-paw-style nail puller with an I-beam shaft for maximum strength-to-weight. Sharpened fork end digs under nail heads that have been countersunk or set below the surface where a flat claw can’t reach. Forged one-piece American steel.
Estwing has forged its hammers, axes, and pry bars at its Rockford, Illinois plant since 1923 — family-owned for four generations, and one of the few remaining American striking-tool makers that still does every step domestically. The one-piece drop-forged construction is why these tools routinely outlast three or four wooden-handled hammers in the same hands.
