Features:

Forged Steel Hammerhead:

The hammerhead is forged in one piece from high-quality steel, ensuring maximum durability and strength.

The hardness of the hammerhead is rated at 50-55 HRC (Rockwell Hardness), which makes it resistant to wear and gives it a long-lasting edge for tough applications like breaking, demolition, or heavy striking.

Hickory Handle:

The 16-inch hickory handle is not only strong but also provides shock absorption. Hickory is known for its strength and resilience under impact, reducing vibrations and making it easier on the user’s hands and arms during repetitive strikes.

The handle has a traditional waisted design, which gives the user a more ergonomic grip, providing a balance of comfort and control while reducing the risk of the tool slipping from your hand during use.

Weight:

The hammer weighs 4lbs (1.8 kg), which makes it perfect for tasks requiring substantial striking power but not too heavy to be cumbersome. The weight allows the user to drive nails, break materials, or crack stone with ease.

Length:

With a length of 16″ (400 mm), the hammer is a good balance between providing enough leverage and being compact enough for tighter spaces.

Smooth Face:

The hammer features a smooth face, which ensures a clean and accurate strike, minimizing damage to the work surface. This is especially important for users who need precision or are working with delicate materials.
