Estwing Mfg Co ALBK 14 Oz Aluminum Smooth Face Hammer

Product Description

The ESTWING MFG CO ALBK is a 14 oz smooth face framing hammer built from forged aircraft aluminum alloy, making it lighter than titanium while maintaining the strength required for production framing and finish carpentry. Vibration-dampening shot is built directly into the head to maximize force transfer and reduce fatigue during extended use. The Perma Cap steel head and interlocking steel claw deliver durable striking and pulling performance. A magnetic nail starter in the head allows single-handed nail placement, and the patented Shock Reduction Grip in black absorbs impact at the handle for all-day comfort.

The ALBK is suited for residential and light commercial framing, sheathing, and general carpentry applications. The reduced claw length is designed to increase leverage when pulling nails from framing lumber or engineered wood products. Its lightweight aluminum construction makes it a practical choice for carpenters, framers, and general contractors who drive high nail counts daily and need to reduce cumulative strain without sacrificing hitting power.
