Nail Hammers


Plain Grip Hickory Handle	Steel Handle Textured Grip	Fiberglass Handle Smooth Grip

Textured Grip Dead-Blow Hammer	Ribbed Grip


Serrated Face	Curved Claw	Straight Claw

Board Grip	Magnetic Nail Starter	Nail Pulling Groove

Drive nails with the flat, steel face and remove them with the claw on the other end of the head.

For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.

Hickory Handle—Hickory handles resist vibration.

Steel Handle—Steel handles are stronger than wooden handles but have less vibration resistance.

Polycarbonate Handle—Polycarbonate handles with graphite core resist breakage if you miss your mark.

Aluminum Handle—Aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance.

Fiberglass Handle—Fiberglass handles combine the strength of steel with the vibration resistance of wood.

Textured Grip—Textured grips provide slip resistance.

Ribbed Grip—Ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

Dead-Blow Hammer—Dead blow nail hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for a controlled impact and minimal rebound. The handle is lightweight to provide a fast swing while driving nails.

Serrated Face—Serrated face prevents the head from slipping when striking.

Curved Claw—Curved-claw hammers provide high leverage for nail removal.

Straight Claw—Straight-claw hammers are also known as framing hammers. They're a good choice for ripping and prying wood in addition to nail removal, but they do not remove nails as efficiently as curved-claw hammers.

Board Grip—Hammers with a board grip hold 2" thick boards.

Magnetic Nail Starter—Hammers with a magnetic nail starter hold nails in position at the top of the head, so a free hand is not needed to steady the nail before striking it.

Nail Pulling Groove—Hammers with a nail pulling groove can remove nails in tighter spaces than claws.

Nonsparking Nail Hammers

The face 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 drive and remove nails. All have a textured grip for slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.

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