Estwing Mfg Co E20S 20 Oz Straight Claw Ripping Hammer

Product Description

The ESTWING MFG CO E20S is a 20 oz straight claw ripping hammer built for demolition and rough framing work. The head and handle are forged as a single piece of solid steel, eliminating the risk of a loose or flying head during heavy use. A genuine sole leather grip with washer absorbs vibration and provides a secure hold during extended swings. The smooth face delivers clean strikes on nail heads without marring surrounding material. This tool is suited for carpenters, framers, and general contractors who demand a durable, all-steel striking tool on the job site.

The E20S is designed for residential and light commercial framing, demolition, and ripping applications. The straight claw configuration makes it well-suited for prying apart lumber, pulling boards, and demo work where a curved claw would limit leverage. It is a standard choice for framers and finish carpenters who need a reliable ripping hammer that holds up to daily job site use.
