Estwing Mfg Co E3-20S 20 Oz Rip Claw Hammer Solid Steel

Product Description

The ESTWING MFG CO E3-20S is a 20-ounce rip claw hammer built on a solid steel handle with a vinyl grip. The head is full polished with a smooth face, making it suited for general framing, rough carpentry, and finish work where a clean strike face is required. The one-piece solid steel construction eliminates the risk of a loose head, a common failure point on wood- or fiberglass-handled hammers. At 7 pounds shipping weight, this is a substantial, professional-grade hand tool intended for daily use on job sites by carpenters, general contractors, and skilled tradespeople.

The E3-20S is designed for residential and commercial construction applications. The rip claw profile is optimized for prying and demolition tasks as well as nail driving, making it a practical choice for framing crews, remodelers, and multi-trade contractors who need a single hammer to handle a range of tasks. The smooth face delivers cleaner nail sets without marking finish surfaces.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by carpenters, framers, and general tradespeople for nail driving and demolition tasks. Inspect the strike face and handle for cracks or damage before each use. Never strike hardened steel surfaces such as chisels or cold chisels with this hammer, as face chipping can occur. Follow applicable OSHA hand tool safety guidelines on all job sites.
