Estwing Mfg Co MRF20S Sure Strike 20 Oz Rip Hammer

Product Description

The ESTWING MFG CO MRF20S is a 20-ounce rip hammer built for framing, rough carpentry, and general construction work. It features a jacketed fiberglass handle that provides overstrike protection, reducing the risk of handle failure on missed swings. The injection-molded grip delivers consistent hand control during extended use. The polished head offers clean strike surfaces suited to driving and pulling common nails. This hammer is a standard tool for carpenters, framers, and general contractors who need reliable performance on production job sites.

The MRF20S is suited for residential and light commercial framing applications, including floor, wall, and roof framing tasks. The 20-ounce head weight falls in the standard range for rip hammers used in production framing work. Its rip claw geometry is designed for prying boards and pulling nails during rough construction phases rather than finish work.
