Estwing Mfg Co E3-22SM 22 Oz Rip Claw Framing Hammer

Product Description

The ESTWING MFG CO E3-22SM is a 22-ounce rip claw framing hammer built for heavy-duty rough framing and structural work. The head features a full polished milled face, which provides extra grip on nail heads to reduce slippage during high-force swings. The handle is solid steel with a vinyl grip, delivering a one-piece forged construction that eliminates the risk of a loose or broken handle under load. This hammer is intended for professional carpenters, framers, and general contractors who drive large nails repeatedly throughout the workday.

The E3-22SM suits residential and light commercial framing applications. The rip claw design is optimized for prying apart rough lumber, pulling nails, and general demolition tasks on the job site. The 22-ounce head weight provides enough driving force for framing nails and structural fasteners without requiring excessive swing effort. The solid steel construction makes it appropriate for demanding site conditions where wood-handled tools may fail.
