E3-28S HAMMER 28OZ S

Overview

The Estwing E3-28S Hammer (E3-28S) is designed for framing applications requiring a heavy-duty, full-steel construction capable of driving large common nails.

Technical Features

• One-piece forged solid steel construction: Eliminates the joint between head and handle, removing the risk of head separation during high-impact framing work.
• Fully polished finish: Provides a uniform surface on both the head and handle, reducing surface corrosion initiation points.
• 28 oz head weight with 16 in overall length: Delivers increased driving force per swing, suited for large common nails and heavy structural fastening tasks.
• Molded-on shock reduction grip: Reduces transmitted shock by up to 70% compared to ungripped steel handles, lowering operator fatigue during repetitive use. The molded construction ensures the grip cannot detach from the handle.
• Smooth face: Produces a clean, unmarked nail-set without face texture imprinting on surrounding wood surfaces.
• Straight claw: Oriented for ripping and prying applications such as separating framing lumber and pulling structural nails.
• Non-slip grip: Maintains positive hand-to-handle contact in wet or high-perspiration job-site conditions.

Applications

• Residential and commercial wood framing requiring heavy nail driving with large common nails.
• Structural sheathing installation where consistent, smooth face strikes are required to avoid surface damage.
• Demolition and lumber ripping tasks utilizing the straight claw configuration.
• General carpentry applications where a durable, single-piece steel tool is preferred over wood- or fiberglass-handled alternatives.

Safety Notice: Always wear safety goggles to protect eyes from flying particles and dust during use. Bystanders must also wear appropriate eye protection. California residents refer to Prop 65 WARNINGS prior to use.
