This Estwing engineer hammer is made from premium hickory imported from the USA. The drop forged head is induction hardened. The faces are machined and polished, bevelled to prevent chipping. There is a cross pein end for driving small nails and working in hard-to-reach places. Hickory serves as a natural shock absorber, intended to minimise user fatigue, reduce vibration, and enhance efficiency. This hammer is for metalworkers, welders and contractors for metalwork and shaping.
