Estwing 22 oz Framing Hammer

The Estwing 22 oz Framing Hammer is the legendary tool of choice for professional framers and construction workers across North America. Made entirely in the USA in Rockford, Illinois, this hammer is forged from a single piece of high-carbon steel, eliminating the possibility of a loose or broken handle and making it virtually indestructible. The one-piece construction also allows for maximum energy transfer from the swing to the nail, driving nails with fewer strikes. The polished face features a milled grid pattern that grips the nail head securely and reduces the chance of deflection, even in wet conditions. The rip claw is optimized for prying and demolition work, providing excellent leverage for pulling nails and prying boards. The Shock Reduction Grip is made from a patented nylon vinyl compound that absorbs vibration at the handle to reduce user fatigue. The grip is weather-resistant and provides a secure, non-slip surface in all conditions. The 16-inch handle length provides good reach and swing leverage. The balance between head weight and handle length is carefully engineered for maximum driving power with minimum effort. The blue vinyl grip is an iconic symbol of American craftsmanship.
