Since 1923, the Estwing family and its employees have taken pride in designing and manufacturing the world’s most durable, comfortable and attractive striking and struck tools. All claw hammers, axes, speciality tools and pry bars are manufactured to the highest possible standards and offer a true value to those who use our tools on the job, at home or in the great outdoors.

Estwing was founded – and is still located – in the northern Illinois city of Rockford, a city with a rich manufacturing history and home to many Swedish immigrants in the early 1900s, including our founder Ernest Estwing. The blue and yellow of Estwing’s logo, the same colours of the Swedish flag, highlight the influence and importance of Ernest’s (and Rockford’s) Swedish roots.
