The original Estwing geology hammer, the E-30, features a 22oz (624 gram) head, manufactured using Estwing’s patented drop forge method. By forging the entire hammer from a single piece of steel, the E-30 surpasses traditional hammers made from two separate metal pieces, effectively eliminating any weak points and significantly reducing the risk of breakage during rigorous geological work. Moreover, this method significantly reduces impact and shock during use, offering a reliable and durable tool for geologists. The E-30’s pointed tip makes it an ideal geological hammer for intricate tasks, such as fossil and mineral extraction. On the opposite end of the head, a flat surface provides a sturdy platform for breaking down rocks with ease. The handle of the Estwing E-30 comes with the classic bound leather grip, lacquered to prevent any unravelling over time. This time-tested design ensures a secure and comfortable grip for precise control during fieldwork. Completing the hammer is a studded end cap, adding durability and protection to the handle. The Estwing E-30 remains an indispensable tool, earning its place as a symbol of reliability for geological fieldwork. Click HERE to view our full range of strike tools.
