Estwing’s Hammertooth Hammers Straighten Boards
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008
If you work construction or renovation, you often need to straighten a twisted stud or joist. Tools such as Stanley’s Fubar will do the trick, but what if you don’t want to carry a separate tool to get the job done? Estwing adds board-tweaking ability to a tool already in your hand: the hammer. The patented Hammertooth hammer can straighten any 2x board — just place the tooth and claw on either side of a board, and twist.
At first glance, the sleek styling scores high on the “cool factor,” but after a bit of examination, the thought behind the design comes into focus. The EWF21 features a 21oz. forged steel head with an extended shank that is bonded and bolted to the cranked fiberglass handle. This helps to ensure a permanent head and handle connection.
