The Estwing Ultra Milled Face Framing Hammer is a professional-grade framing hammer engineered for speed and durability on carpentry and construction projects. Forged from a single piece of high-quality American steel, this hammer delivers exceptional strength and reliability for demanding framing work. The one-piece construction eliminates weak points, whilst the lighter engineering allows carpenters to drive nails faster with less fatigue during extended use. A milled face provides superior grip on nail heads when striking, reducing glancing blows and improving accuracy. The hammer features practical design enhancements including an extra nail notch built into the head for efficient nail pulling and a magnetic nail starter for one-handed operation. Its traditional leather handle is crafted from compressed leather washers that are pressed on and riveted, providing a secure, shock-absorbing grip that improves with use. Ideal for professional carpenters, framers and contractors undertaking timber frame construction, stud wall installation and general carpentry projects. The straight claw design suits a wide range of framing applications where both nail driving and pulling capabilities are essential.
