Estwing Straight Claw Framing Hammer

The 700g Estwing Big Blue Straight Claw Framing Hammer provides substantial striking power whilst remaining comfortable for all-day use, making it an excellent choice for professional framers tackling demanding projects. This variant delivers the mass needed to drive larger nails efficiently whilst the carefully balanced design maintains excellent control and precision. Featuring Estwing's renowned one-piece forged steel construction, this 460mm (18in) hammer eliminates the weakness found in traditional two-piece designs. The blue shaft with its signature shock reduction nylon vinyl grip is created using liquid vinyl bonded directly to the all-steel shaft during production, delivering exceptional comfort and dramatically reducing vibrations from repeated impacts. Specifically designed for frame work, the straight claw configuration and long handle provide superior leverage for both driving and removing nails. The extended handle length delivers greater impact when striking, making light work of heavy-duty framing tasks. Made in the USA from high-quality steel, this professional-grade hammer is built to last.
