Finds: Estwing’s Welding/Chipping Hammer

By Chuck Cage

Estwing, known for their strange-looking-but-quite-comfortable framing hammers, also makes other hammers — such as this welding/chipping model.  While hopefully you’re not spending that much time chipping at your welds, there’s no reason to suffer discomfort in doing so — and Estwing’s hammer looks pretty darn comfy.

The model pictured is 11″ long and weighs in at 14 oz, so it shouldn’t be that difficult to swing.  It’s got a smooth face, and a nylon/vinyl padded grip.

Street pricing checks in right around $20.
