The Estwing 22oz Framing Hammer is a one-piece forged steel hammer built for framing, with a straight rip claw for pulling nails and prying boards apart. At 22oz it carries enough head weight to drive framing nails with fewer strikes, a popular weight for framing crews.
Framing hammers in this class are made for carpenters and builders putting up walls, decks and timber framing. The forged one-piece body means there is no joint between head and handle to loosen, and the shock-reduction grip cushions the hand against repeated impact. The straight rip claw doubles as a pry for separating nailed timber.
