Estwing Mfg Co E3-16C 16 Oz Steel Claw Hammer 13 in

Product Description

The ESTWING MFG CO E3-16C is a 16 oz forged steel claw hammer built for demanding trade and jobsite use. Constructed from a single piece of forged steel with a full polished finish, this hammer delivers consistent balance and durability across the head, neck, and handle. The smooth face is suited for finish work and general framing tasks. A blue nylon vinyl cushion grip is molded directly onto the handle to reduce vibration and improve comfort during extended use. At 13 inches in overall length and 3.4 pounds, it fits naturally in a tool belt or tool bag and is ready for daily production work.

This hammer is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction, rough framing, finish carpentry, form work, and general maintenance tasks. The nail seat feature aids in starting nails with one hand, which is useful when working overhead or in tight spaces. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and general trades workers will find the one-piece forged construction reliable in conditions where multi-piece handles are prone to loosening or failure.
