Product Information

Full details

The Estwing Sure Strike 20 Oz Curve Claw Hammer (MRF20C) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing a durable and reliable tool for framing, demolition, and general construction tasks. Its key benefit is the robust fiberglass handle providing a comfortable, strong, and resilient grip.

This hammer features a smooth face, a jacketed fiberglass handle for shock absorption and durability, and an injected molded grip for enhanced comfort and control.

What is the difference between this model and other Estwing hammers?

Troubleshooting

Hammer head feels loose on the handle.

Ensure the handle is properly secured. For fiberglass handles, this is typically achieved through the injection molding process. If it appears significantly loose or damaged, it is recommended to replace the hammer for safety.

Grip feels slippery.

Wipe the grip with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or oils. If the grip material is worn, consider using work gloves for better traction.

Nails are bending or not driving straight.

Ensure you are using the correct nail size for the material and that the hammer strike is centered on the nail head. Check that the hammer head is clean and free from debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective for a variety of hammering and prying tasks.

Cons

  • 20-ounce weight may be too heavy for light-duty tasks or extended use by some users.
