Ever been stuck in a corner, trying to drive a chisel or crack some stubborn concrete, but your hammer's too long to swing properly? The Estwing Sure Strike 3-pound drilling hammer solves that exact problem. At just 11 inches, its jacketed fiberglass handle lets you generate serious force without needing room for a full arc—perfect for pros on job sites or homeowners tackling garage cleanups.
This isn't some flimsy tool. The head is one-piece forged steel, hardened and tempered for impact after impact. Blue-painted and fully polished on both faces, with beveled edges for clean, controlled strikes. Whether you're pounding cold chisels through brick, setting spikes, or hammering hardened nails, it bites in and gets the job done. No more mushroomed heads or flying chips that dull other hammers.
The yellow textured fiberglass handle isn't just shorter—it's engineered for power. Jacketed for durability, it cushions vibrations so your arms don't turn to jelly after a few swings. Topped with a no-slip cushion grip, your hands stay locked in, even sweaty or gloved up. It's lighter overall than longer sledges but punches way above its weight thanks to the compact design.
Safety first: always gear up with goggles, as it warns—flying bits are no joke. I've used mine from dawn demos to weekend fixes, and it never lets me down. Pair it with quality chisels, and you're set for anything from home renos to heavy fieldwork. Grab the Estwing MRF3LB if you want a drilling hammer that feels like an extension of your arm—reliable, balanced, and ready for abuse.
