The Estwing Supreme 16oz Chisel Edge Rock Hammer (E6-16BLC) is a smaller, lighter version of the Estwing Supreme 20oz Chisel Edge Rock Hammer (E3-20PC). This rock hammer has a 16 oz head and a a slightly shorter handle. This is a great rock pick for when you have a long way to carry the rock hammer, for those that prefer a lighter rock hammer, or those other times when you want a smaller rock hammer. Lighter to pack or wear on longer hikes. Choose a chisel edge rock hammer when you want to split layers of rock apart looking for fossils. The lighter weight gives a bit more control on where you place your strikes.

We've said it before but the purpose of a rock hammer is to break rock or drive chisels. With the lighter weight of the head of this hammer you're going to have to swing a lot harder and with many more blows. The smaller head face makes it harder to use when driving chisels.
