    About Hammers

    Hit the nail on the head with the right hammer; choose by main feature, material, and size.

    Mallets

    Drive chisels with control and strike workpieces without damaging their surface.
    When choosing a mallet, consider the face material, overall length, and head weight. To avoid marring, the face material should be softer than your workpiece. Use shorter, lighter mallets for tapping parts into place or making small cuts with a chisel. Use longer, heavier mallets for assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive chisel cuts.

    SBR faces are softer than metal or plastic faces, so they’re good for striking plastic, wood, and thin sheet metal.
    Hickory Handle—Our most vibration-resistant handles, they keep the force of blows from buzzing through your arm.
    Fiberglass Handle—A good balance of strength and vibration resistance.
    White Face—Won’t leave marks on your surface.
    Face Hardness Rating—We rate plastic and rubber faces to help you compare their hardness. The softer the face, the less likely it is to mar delicate workpieces. The harder the face, the more force you can apply with each tap.

    Sledge Hammers

    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.

    Hickory Handle—Ribbed Grip

    10" to 16" long hammers are also known as engineers', drilling, club, and crack hammers. Use them for light demolition and tasks where longer hammers don't have room to swing.
    Bronze faces are often used on non-ferrous metal, such as aluminum, nickel, or titanium.
    Hickory Handle—Hickory handles resist vibration.
    Ribbed Grip—Ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

    Nonsparking Ball Peen Hammers

    The face and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking, resist corrosion, and are nonmagnetic. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Use the domed end of the head for forming soft metal, rounding off edges, and closing rivets. The flat striking face is for driving nails, pins, punches, and chisels. 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.
