Rip Claw Hammer STANLEY FATMAX Next Generation, 325 mm length, 35 mm head depth, 130 mm height

STANLEY FATMAX Next Generation Rip Claw Hammer, 325 mm in length with a 35 mm head depth and 130 mm overall head height, is a ripping-style hammer intended for prying, nail removal and general striking tasks. The design combines a balanced head with a pronounced claw profile to provide controlled leverage when extracting nails or separating materials during carpentry, demolition and construction work.

Advantages

The tool offers a robust steel head engineered for repeated striking, and the rip claw geometry improves access to embedded nails and tight seams. A 325 mm handle length provides reach while maintaining control for one-handed operation, and the 35 mm head depth contributes to optimized weight distribution for stable swings. Materials and finish are chosen to resist wear under typical jobsite conditions and to maintain reliable performance during prying and pulling operations.

Suitable for

• Carpentry work — driving and removing nails, adjusting timber joints
• Demolition tasks — prying boards, removing flooring and trim
• General construction — framing, site repairs and remodeling
• DIY projects that require a sturdy rip claw hammer for levering and striking

Key specifications

• Overall length: 325 mm
• Head depth: 35 mm
• Head height: 130 mm
• Rip claw profile for improved nail extraction and prying leverage
• Balanced head design to combine striking force with control

How to use

Position the hammerhead on the nail or target area with the striking face perpendicular to the surface for driving operations. For nail removal or prying, slide the rip claw under the nail head or board edge and apply steady leverage, using the handle length to increase mechanical advantage while maintaining a controlled motion. Use measured strikes to reduce the risk of surface damage and to keep the hammer under control during extraction. Inspect the tool before use to ensure the head and handle are secure and free of damage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves when performing striking or prying tasks. For stubborn nails or heavy demolition, consider using supplementary tools (pry bar, nail puller) to reduce stress on the hammer and improve safety.
