The Estwing Ultra Framing Hammer is a professional-grade striking tool designed for fast, efficient nailing in framing and construction applications. This solid forged hammer is manufactured as a single piece of steel, delivering exceptional strength and durability for demanding jobsite work. Engineered with a lighter design than traditional framing hammers, this tool enables faster nail driving without compromising on power or control. The one-piece forged steel construction eliminates weak points where handles might separate from heads, ensuring reliable performance throughout the working life of the tool. The hammer head features a practical extra nail notch and integrated magnetic nail starter, allowing you to position nails quickly and work single-handed when needed. The traditional leather handle grip is constructed from pressed and rivetted leather washers, providing a secure, comfortable grip that absorbs shock during repetitive striking tasks. Ideal for carpenters, framers and general contractors working on timber frame construction, decking projects and general carpentry applications. Made in the USA from high-quality steel, this framing hammer combines traditional craftsmanship with functional design features.
