Estwing Rip Hammer, Solid Steel Rip Claw Hammer

The Estwing Rip Hammer is a solid steel rip claw hammer forged in one piece, head and handle together, for unmatched balance, temper and durability. With no separate head to loosen or handle to break, it is built for years of daily use on the jobsite, in the shop and on production crews.

The straight rip claw handles more than nail pulling: it pries boards apart, helps with demolition and can split wood when needed. The smooth, fully polished face suits finishing and interior work, while the molded blue Shock Reduction Grip reduces vibration from impact and gives a comfortable, secure hold.

Why the Estwing Rip Hammer

  • One-piece forged solid American steel head and handle
  • Straight rip claw for pulling nails, prying and demolition
  • Smooth, fully polished face for finishing work
  • Molded Shock Reduction Grip that reduces impact vibration
  • Available in 12, 16 and 20 oz head weights
  • Made in the USA

Which head weight should I choose?

The 12 oz E3-12S is the lightest and most compact option, suited to light duty and finishing work. The 16 oz E3-16S is the all-round choice for general carpentry and everyday jobsite tasks. The 20 oz E3-20S drives larger nails with fewer swings and gives more leverage for prying and demolition.

Ideal for

Carpentry, construction, set building, stage and production crews, maintenance teams and anyone who needs a durable rip claw hammer for driving and pulling nails.

Safety: Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer, and make sure bystanders do too. Strike only nails and nail sets with the hammer face, never hardened steel or another hammer. When working at height, secure the hammer with a tool lanyard to prevent dropped objects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a rip hammer and a curved claw hammer?
A rip hammer like the Estwing Rip Hammer has a straight claw designed for prying boards apart, demolition and splitting wood. A curved claw hammer has more curve for leverage when pulling nails, making it better suited to finish carpentry and general nail removal.
Which Estwing Rip Hammer weight is best for general use?
The 16 oz Estwing Rip Hammer (E3-16S) is the most versatile choice for general carpentry and everyday jobsite tasks. Choose 12 oz for lighter finishing work, or 20 oz when you need more driving power and leverage for heavier jobs.
Is the Estwing Rip Hammer made in one piece?
Yes. The Estwing Rip Hammer is forged from a single piece of solid steel, so the head and handle are one unit. This eliminates loose heads and broken handles, and gives the hammer its balance and long working life.
