Stanley Proto J1332AVP Antivibe Ball Pein Hammer, 32-Ounce

Product Information

If pounding in nails to hang picturesis just about the most action your hammer ever sees, there’s no need for a heavy tool made for more rigorous tasks. Instead, a lightweight hammer, such as the Olympia Tools 8-Ounce Claw Wood Hammer, gets the job done very effectively, but with less wear-and-tear on your hands and wrists and less potential damage to your walls should you misjudge your swing. A well-made hammer feels good in your hands, and there's a reason Estwing has been a favorite manufacturer of hammers for decades; they know how to build a hammer just right. The E3-16C is a curved claw, 16-ounce hammer forged from one piece of polished solid steel. The handle is wrapped in a cushion of nonslip-grip material that minimizes vibration and helps you hold on even if your hands get sweaty. And it's perfectly balanced for a smooth, easy swing that drives your nail home without excessive effort. Longer isn’t always better. While a longer hammer lets you build up more momentum for a more powerful blow, such a tool weighs more than its shorter counterparts and is generally not necessary for the average DIYer. The tubular steel handle of the hammer is designed to shift the balance of the weight toward the head, increasing the power of each blow. The soft, rubber grip will also keep the hammer comfortably planted in your hands while you swing and strike. A chrome finish helps prevent rust and corrosion. Tinner's: These hammers have a square face and a sharp claw without a fork. They are mostly used for metalwork, including hammering sheet metal and automotive repairs.

Wood is the classic hammer handle and is still preferred by many. It’s fairly lightweight, doesn’t transmit a lot of vibration to your hand and wrist, and with enough use, wooden handles tend to “form” a little bit to your hand over time. Still, wooden handles are the likeliest to break, and they can be slippery. They’ll also rot or warp if left out in rough conditions or exposed to moisture. However, you can generally replace a wooden hammer handle if it breaks. Claw: This is the most common type of hammer. The head has a slightly curved, forked claw that’s useful for pulling nails out of wood and other materials. Most have a smooth face that won’t mar the wall as you drive the nail home. Smooth-faced claw hammers are sometimes called "finishing hammers." You’ll find claw hammers weighing as little as 8 ounces and monsters weighing as much as 32 ounces, but for the average DIYer, a tool that’s between 16 and 20 ounces is best. Go toward the bottom of that range if you’ll mostly use the hammer for hanging pictures and similar light tasks, and toward the upper end of the range if you’ll be doing framing or similar construction activities. For most general projects, a 12-to-16-ounce hammer is sufficient. But for heavier tasks, such as driving large nails into hard wood, framing, or construction, you'll want a heavier hammer with an equally heavier strike force. That's when you'll appreciate this 20-ounce general-purpose hammer from Craftsman, which has a very slightly curved rip claw, a smooth face, and a fiberglass handle with a rubberized molded grip for extra stability. This is an ideal all-purpose hammer for just about any handyperson or DIYer, as well as people who like to have a collection of quality tools on hand whenever they're needed.Built with a strong polyester fiber handle and a long-lasting titanium head, this drywall hammer is a high-quality and durable drywall tool. While increasing power, the nine-ounce titanium head reduces weight and recoil compared to traditional steel heads. Additionally, the hammer’s hatchet end has a thumb divot for increased grip and control. Key Features There are different hammers out there, each with a specific purpose, although there can be overlaps among them. Here are some of the most common types of hammers:

A drywall hammer’s weight affects its power and maneuverability. Light hammers allow for a controlled swing, but they often cannot effectively drive drywall nails. Heavy drywall hammers are difficult to control, but they can provide an adequate amount of strength to cut through drywall. CostDrywall hammers are used by serious DIYers to install drywall.
