Estwing E3-16S 16 oz Straight Claw Hammer

The Estwing E3-16S is a 16-ounce straight claw hammer, sometimes called a rip hammer, forged in one piece from solid American steel. Because the head and handle are one piece, the head can't work loose, and the rip claw is good for pulling nails and prying boards. It has a smooth face and Estwing's blue Shock Reduction Grip, which is molded on to cut down vibration from each strike. It's 13 inches long, a common size for framing, remodeling or a general home toolbox. Estwing lists it as "Made in the U.S.A."

All of Estwing’s all steel hammers and axes are made in the USA with American steel. Verified on the maker's site Nov 2, 2026
