The Estwing framing hammer is a professional-grade hammer designed for frame locksmiths, featuring a forged one-piece construction for exceptional durability and shock resistance. With a striking face diameter of 24 mm and a total weight of 950 grams, including a 600-gram hammerhead, this hammer delivers significant striking power with precise control. Its length of 330 mm allows for optimal leverage in framing and construction applications. Equipped with a genuine leather grip that comfortably conforms to the user's hand over time, this hammer ensures safe handling and reduced vibration transfer.
