Dealmonger: Estwing 14″ Sportsman’s Axe $19

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Dynamite Tool Co. is offering a great deal on this Estwing 14″ Sportsman’s Axe at $19.15.  While they call it an axe, it’s a hatchet in my book. Over the years I’ve split a lot of kindling with this tool, and I’ve taken it along on a lot of camping trips.  As with their hammers, Estwing makes the head and handle of one piece, so it’s rugged enough to withstand the abuse and neglect of a tool left in the woodshed.

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.

Estwing EWF21 Weight Forward Hammer

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

Estwing EWF21 HammerAt 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.

The goal of this new design was to achieve greater power and less shock. To deliver the most force to the target, the striking face is located closer than usual to the centerline of the handle/hammerhead interface, bringing the weight forward to the head. To reduce shock and vibration the handle was curved, and it was extended to maximize striking force, requiring fewer hits to drive the target.

Web pricing starts at around $35.
