The Estwing E3-28S is a professional-grade rip claw hammer built for framing, carpentry, and general nail work. Its one-piece forged steel construction—where the head and handle are fully polished and forged together—delivers exceptional strength and durability that lasts for years. The 28-ounce head provides substantial striking power, while the 16-inch overall length offers the perfect balance between control and leverage for precise, powerful hits on framing lumber and other demanding tasks.
Whether you’re driving nails, removing stubborn fasteners, or tackling tough splitting jobs, this hammer excels at both tasks. The smooth face allows clean strikes without marring surfaces, and the rip claw design provides superior leverage for efficient nail removal and splitting. The shock reduction grip, molded directly onto the handle, reduces vibration and absorbs impact energy, minimizing fatigue during extended use and enhancing comfort with every swing.
