Key specifications

• Head weight: 16 oz (approx. 454 g)
• Hammer type: carpenter's hammer with claw for nail removal
• Handle: shock-reducing, ergonomically shaped for improved grip

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the handle for maximum leverage when driving nails, and use a higher grip toward the head for more precise, controlled blows. Position the nail straight and tap gently to set it before using full swings. Use the claw to remove nails by levering against the work surface while supporting the material to avoid damage. Inspect the striking face and handle before use to ensure secure attachment and safe operation.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective results, wear eye protection when striking or prying, and maintain a clear workspace. Select the 16 oz hammer for general carpentry where a balance between accuracy and driving power is required; consider a heavier hammer for larger framing nails or a lighter hammer for delicate finishing work.
