Review: Grandpa's Hammer - This is Great Hammer that will last decades with proper care and maintenance. I grew up in a builder/construction family and this is the hammer my grandpa used for 20 years or more I wish I still had the the original. Two hammer company's that were always most used and dependable were Vaughan and Estwing because they do a job well and last a long time. Lately I've been organizing my tools and upgrading some of them, so I noticed I didn't have a good medium size hammer, I have been using a workpro 10 oz. hammer for odd jobs around the house and a Vaughan 21 oz. Hammer for heavy duty jobs. I wanted something in the middle and I knew I wanted Estwing so I went with the 16 oz Curved Claw with Smooth Face, The smooth face so it won't mar whatever i'm working on and claw to give that extra prying power. The 16 oz. is perfect for control and accuracy and the metal tang means you don't have to change the handle or have a loose/wobbly hammer head. The grip is a comfortable, the plastic/rubber is very durable of course if you abuse it and use the handle to pry or scrape rough objects it's going to deteriorate and break apart, I have seen people completely wreck their tools using them in idiotic ways. The only disappointment was the Estwing Logo is NOT yellow, it's just engraved in the handle with no color added and that is not how I grew up with the logo looking, it was always yellow letters on a blue handle, I think you can still find it in some models but I'm not going to hunt it down so I'm just enjoy it for what it is. Made in the USA and at 16 oz you can do light to heavy work all day with this and it won't let you down for a lifetime. I added a pic with my vintage Stanley 6oz. ball peen hammer next to the Estwing 16oz. ## Features - CURVED CLAW LEVERAGE – Estwing hammers are optimized to allow for added torque when pulling and prying nails or boards. - BUILT FOR THE PRO – The optimal claw hammer for framers, roofers, carpenters, contractors, tradesman & serious DIYers. - FORGED IN ONE PIECE – The most durable, longest lasting striking tools available are crafted from a single piece of solid steel and honed into the optimal design for use. - PATENTED SHOCK REDUCTION GRIP - Reducing impact vibration by 70%, Estwing's molded shock reduction grip provides optimal slip-free comfort, durability and superior grip in all jobsite conditions - MADE IN THE USA – Since 1923, our tools have been proudly American made in Rockford, IL using only the finest American steel. - Returns will not be honored on this closeout item ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00002N5NC | | Best Sellers Rank | #50,108 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #36 in Claw Hammers | | Brand Name | Estwing | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (1,728) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00034139622611 | | Grip Type | Shock Reduction | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel, Nylon | | Head Material | Alloy Steel | | Head Style | Curved | | Included Components | Claw Hammer | | Item Type Name | Claw Hammer | | Item Weight | 0.75 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Estwing | | Style Name | Casual | | UPC | 100076915038 034139622611 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Estwing - **Color:** Silver - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel, Nylon - **Head Material:** Alloy Steel - **Item Weight:** 0.75 Pounds ## Images ![ESTWING Hammer - 12 oz USA Made Curved Claw Hammer with Smooth Face & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-12C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X5TmA20mL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can anybody comment on shock-reduction property? thanks** A: The shock absorbing properties of the handle are great. BUT, I tried to use my 16 oz hammer for framing and found that it is to lite. I moved up to a 20 oz hammer for framing and did much better. **Q: Where is this item made?** A: Made is USA. And I bought 4. And I have a 2 & 4 pounds hammer. Best hammer I ever bought. They are well balance. **Q: Is this a 12 or 16 ounce hammer? Both weights are stated in the description.** A: Unfortunately it is a 12 oz. I wish I had known this when I ordered because it looks just like my 16 which is what I wanted. **Q: Are '12oz' and 'E3-12C' marked on the head of the hammer? From the photographs, it does not appear to have any markings.** A: Yes: I have the 12,1 6 and 24 oz hammers, al purchased over the last 10 years: each as the weight "etched" into the head of the hammer on the side. Not sure why that's important: putting the three together you can easily differentiate between S, M, & L. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Balanced, comfortable, quality hammer *by T***S on January 1, 2026* Well balanced quality hammer.

Looked at other brands, but again settled on Estwing. The 12oz size is great for smaller projects around the house, and very solid construction so you can beat away confidently. Fairly comfortable handle for moderate use scenarios. There's probably more comfortable hammers for hammering 8 hours straight per day, but I mostly need it for a few whacks here and there. These hold up really well. The 12 oz size is great for hanging a few pictures, or driving a few nails in the house. Not really a heavy demolition hammer or framing hammer. Love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESTWING Hammer - 12 oz Curved Claw with Smooth Face & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-12C - Estwing - DFH-12 Rubber Mallet - 12 oz Double-Face Hammer with Soft/Hard Tips & Hickory Wood Handle - DFH12,Black Red & Yellow - ESTWING Hammer - 12 oz Straight Rip Claw with Smooth Face & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-12S, Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/12530843-estwing-hammer-12-oz-usa-made-curved-claw-hammer-smooth](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/12530843-estwing-hammer-12-oz-usa-made-curved-claw-hammer-smooth) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
