Designed for durability and comfort, it combines a Perma-Cap steel head with an interlocking steel claw, all proudly made in the USA. ## Description From the manufacturer Al-Pro Hammer At Estwing, we've been making the world's finest hammers for over 90 years, and now we've decided to reinvent them. Introducing the AL-Pro, our revolutionary forged aluminium hammer. Lighter than Titanium Greater Striking Power Faster Swings Increased Kinetic Energy Revolutionary MV2 Technology The Estwing AL-Pro is made from forged aircraft aluminium alloy, which is lighter than Titanium. Vibration dampening shot is built into the head giving every blow the maximum force. The Perma-Cap steel head and interlocking steel claw give this hammer durable strength where it is most needed, and the reduced claw length provides increased leverage. There is a magnetic nail starter in the head. The AL-Pro delivers power in a lighter weight package, for the best performance in a hammer with our patented Shock Reduction Grip in blue. Industry First Forged Aluminium Body Forged Steel Striking Cap Proudly Made in the USA Aircraft Aluminium Hammer with PERMA-CAP steel head and interlocking steel claw. Smooth & Milled The AL-Pro is available with both smooth and milled extra large striking face. Dead Blow Technology Vibration dampening shot is built into the head for more power in each blow. Easy Start Includes magnetic nail starter in head of hammer for added convenience. Review: Brilliant light hammer. Which feels like an Estwing - Nice weight, hammer works well. Feels like an estwing, unlike other hammers I've tried out. Claw a little shorter than a standard framing hammer. The last hammer I'll use before retirement? Review: Disappointing quality control and storage - I was very disappointed with the ESTWING AL-PRO 14oz hammer I received. The steel claw has significant surface rust, a manufacturing defect where the v-notch does not reach the bottom, and is asymmetrical. Additionally, there is a dent on one side of the claw, and the steel head shows signs of prior use. While the design is sound—particularly the magnetic nail starter and lightweight aluminum handle—the poor condition of this hammer means I will be returning it. I would not recommend purchasing this hammer from desertcart, as I suspect their storage practices contributed to these issues. I hope to find a better-quality version elsewhere with proper quality control. ## Features - FORGED AIRCRAFT ALUMINUM - Crafted from lightweight aircraft aluminum, this hammer is lighter than titanium, allowing for faster swing speeds and significantly reduced fatigue.

Can this hammer handle beating on steel forms ?** A: It can handle it for sure, but I wouldn’t spend $130 on a hammer to do concrete work. **Q: If the claw or face were to brake, can you order ones?** A: Hi, Thank you for getting in touch! Normally the claw or face doesn't break. Just in case if you face such situation then please contact Estwing(manufacturer) directly at 815-397-9558 for the broken part. I hope this information addresses your needs. We look forward to welcoming you as our customer. Yours Sincerely, Pervaiz Customer Support Representative Tempus & Co. **Q: Is the face replaceable or interchangeable?** A: No it is not replaceable or interchangeable. **Q: How does it compare with 14 oz steel or tungsten hammers?** A: You’ll get a better hammer with a stiletto or a Martinez. You’ll just pay $175 more. In my opinion it’s worth the ~$120. It feels good in hand, and takes stress off your elbow compared to a regular estwing ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant light hammer. Which feels like an Estwing *by A***R on 4 January 2022* Nice weight, hammer works well. Feels like an estwing, unlike other hammers I've tried out. Claw a little shorter than a standard framing hammer. The last hammer I'll use before retirement? ### ⭐ Disappointing quality control and storage *by S***Y on 1 December 2024* I was very disappointed with the ESTWING AL-PRO 14oz hammer I received.

It looks heavy but it’s lighter than almost every other hammer out there in framing. First time I used it, I felt bad for the nails. Lol. If you don’t like this hammer you don’t kno how to swing a hammer. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESTWING AL-PRO Aluminum Framing Hammer - 14 oz Straight Rip Claw with Smooth Face & Shock Reduction Grip - ALBL , Blue - Tajima Chalk Line - Chalk-Rite Jam Free Special Edition Chalk Line with Extra Bold 1mm Snap Line & Five Gear Quick Retrieval - CR301JF-CP --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/65455456-estwing-al-pro-aluminum-framing-hammer-14-oz-straight-rip](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/65455456-estwing-al-pro-aluminum-framing-hammer-14-oz-straight-rip) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
