The Estwing E3-12S is a 12 oz straight rip claw hammer forged from a single piece of American steel, designed for durability and balance. It features a patented Shock Reduction Grip that reduces impact vibration by 70%, making it suitable for precision tasks.

The Titan 63125 is a versatile 5-piece hammer set designed for DIY enthusiasts and mechanics, featuring shock-absorbing fiberglass handles and a variety of hammer types.
