Estwing E3-16S Rip Hammer 16 oz with Leather Grip Blue Steel

The Estwing E3-16S is a 16-ounce rip hammer designed for framing, demolition, and nail pulling work. This forged steel head hammer features a straight claw design optimized for prying boards apart and pulling nails. The one-piece steel construction extends through the handle for maximum durability and shock absorption.

The hammer includes Estwing's signature leather grip that provides comfort during extended use and reduces hand fatigue. The balanced weight distribution and 16-ounce head deliver controlled striking force for precision work. The polished steel head resists chipping and maintains its appearance over time.

This rip hammer works well for residential framing, renovation projects, and general carpentry tasks where nail pulling and board separation are required. The straight claw design makes it particularly effective for demolition work and precise nail extraction. A product video demonstrating the hammer's features is available for viewing.
