    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.
    Steel Handle—Steel handles are stronger than wooden handles but have less vibration resistance.
    Textured Grip—Textured grips provide slip resistance.
    Serrated Face—Serrated face prevents the head from slipping when striking.
    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.
    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.

    High-Visibility Dead Blow Mallets

    A fluorescent orange color makes these mallets easy to see. The head is loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. All are suitable for driving chisels and striking work without damaging its surface. Choose a lighter weight mallet for tapping work into place and driving a chisel to make small cuts. Use heavier weight mallets when assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive cuts with a chisel. Longer mallets allow for more powerful swings. A textured grip provides slip resistance.
    Polyurethane Rubber Face
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hammers. High-Visibility Dead Blow Mallets .
    Polyurethane rubber faces resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact. They're softer than metal faces, so they're good for striking plastic, wood, and sheet metal.
    Soft Face—Soft faces have a hardness similar to that of a tire tread.
    Face Hardness Rating—All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other plastic faces.

    Replaceable-Face Mallets

    Replace faces when they become worn rather than replacing the entire tool. These mallets are suitable for driving chisels and striking work without damaging its surface. Choose a mallet with a face that's softer than your workpiece to avoid marring it when tapping or striking. Lighter weight mallets are good for tapping work into place and driving a chisel to make small cuts. Use heavier weight mallets when assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive cuts with a chisel. Longer mallets allow for more powerful swings.

    Plain Grip

    Nylon faces are softer than metal faces, so they're good for striking plastic, wood, and sheet metal.
    Ash Handle—Ash handles resist vibration.

    Face Hardness Rating—All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other rubber and plastic faces.
