Overview

A 16 ounce alloy steel head on a wood handle makes up the ESTWING MRW16BP, sold as a single hammer with a 4.5 star rating across 522 reviews.

Estwing has long built its name on steel hammers, and this wood-handled 16 ounce model sits at a weight suited to trim, finish, and general carpentry rather than heavy framing work. The listing does not specify a claw or ball-peen head style, so match the head type to your task before ordering. At 100 units bought in the past month, demand has held steady.
