The Estwing hatchet is built for versatility and performance on demanding roof repair and tear off jobs. Designed with professional roofers in mind, this durable tool combines multiple functions into one reliable roofing essential. The built-in gauge helps accurately set the reveal of shingles, while the retractable blade easily adjusts to 4”, 5”, and 5-5/8” exposures for fast, efficient installation. It also features a sharp trimming blade ideal for cutting roofing felt on the jobsite.
Engineered for precision and durability, the half hatchet head is specifically crafted to split wood shakes and shingles with clean, controlled cuts. Whether tackling residential roof repair projects or large commercial tear off jobs, this estwing hatchet delivers the dependable performance professional roofers demand. Trusted by contractors, home builders, and blue collar tradespeople across the country, it is designed to withstand years of heavy-duty use in harsh jobsite conditions.
Forged in one solid piece of premium American steel, this roofing hatchet offers exceptional strength and long-lasting durability. Unlike multi-piece tools that can loosen over time, the one-piece forged construction provides superior balance, control, and reliability for everyday roofing work.
For added comfort, the patented shock reduction grip minimizes impact vibration by up to 70%, helping reduce hand fatigue during long hours on the roof. The molded vinyl handle features a dimpled texture for a secure, comfortable grip in all weather conditions.
Proudly made in the USA since 1923 in Rockford, Illinois, the Estwing hatchet continues to be a trusted choice for professional roofers, home builders, and hardworking blue collar crews who need dependable tools built to perform.
