Swing these long, heavy hammers with both hands to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. Mix faces of different materials or hardnesses to create the perfect striking tool. For demolition work, choose faces that are harder than your workpiece. The head has two pieces that clamp together to grip faces tightly.

Bodies consist of a head, nut, and handle. To assemble, loosen the nut under the head, insert the faces, and tighten the nut.

These hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. A fluorescent orange color makes them easy to see. Use them to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. All have a long handle and heavy head to deliver a powerful strike. Made from polyurethane rubber, the faces resist oil and solvents and won't crack under high impact. The hardness of the faces is similar to that of a tire tread.

Change out the faces when they become worn. The head on these hammers is loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. Use them to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. For demolition work, choose a hammer with a face that's harder than your workpiece. Longer and heavier hammers deliver greater impact. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.

Screw-in hammers have polyurethane rubber faces that resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact. Each face can be switched out for a face with a different hardness. The medium face has a hardness that's suitable for most general purpose applications. The extra-hard face has a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.

Press-fit hammers have nylon plastic faces with a hardness similar to that of a bowling ball.

The faces and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Use them to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. For demolition work, ensure that the workpiece is softer than the metal faces. Longer and heavier hammers deliver greater impact. All have a textured or ribbed grip for slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.

14" long hammers are also known as engineers', drilling, club, lump, and crack hammers. Use them for light demolition and tasks where longer hammers don't have room to swing.

33" long hammers can be swung with both hands to deliver a more powerful strike than shorter hammers.

Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

Pry, shape, chip, and cut masonry and stone. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.

Smooth-face chisel-head hammers are also known as bricklayers’, masons’, or tilesetters’ hammers.

Serrated-face chisel-head hammers are also known as bushing hammers. The points on the face are good for adding texture to the workpiece in preparation for using a bonding agent. They can also be used to remove thin surface coatings from masonry and concrete.

Pick-head hammers are also known as geologists' hammers and are commonly used to split and chip rocks.

Hickory and ash handles resist vibration. Steel handles are stronger than wooden handles but have less vibration resistance.

Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
