Westward 6DWG9 Rip-Claw Hammer 22 oz
The Westward 6DWG9 is a 22 oz rip-claw hammer built for framing and demolition work. Its carbon steel head and milled face provide secure contact when driving or pulling nails. The 16 in overall length gives leverage for heavy strikes. It suits professionals and serious DIYers who need a durable striking tool.
Capacity and headroom
The 22 oz head weight delivers strong driving force for large framing nails and general carpentry. The milled face grips nail heads to reduce glancing blows during repetitive use. The rip claw pries boards and removes fasteners effectively. The tool runs out of comfort during extended overhead work where a lighter hammer would reduce fatigue.
Steel handle with rubber grip
The solid steel handle transmits full swing energy to the head without flex. The rubber grip absorbs some vibration but does not eliminate shock on hard impacts. Users who prefer the feel of wood or fiberglass handles may find the steel construction less forgiving on the wrist during all-day use.
Highlights
- 22 oz head delivers strong striking force
- Milled face grips nail heads for secure pulls
- Rip claw design pries boards apart efficiently
- Steel handle with rubber grip reduces vibration
- 16 in overall length provides good leverage

Questions about this item
Can I use the 22 oz hammer alongside my lighter 16 oz finish hammer without over-driving trim nails?
The 22 oz head delivers more driving force than a 16 oz hammer so you will need a lighter touch on finish work; many users keep both and switch when the job changes from framing to trim.
How do I confirm the milled face is gripping nail heads correctly after the first few swings?
A properly milled face leaves a faint cross-hatch imprint on the nail head and the nail pulls cleanly without the claw slipping; if the nail spins or the face skids the milled teeth may be worn or clogged.
Does the box include a nail set or magnetic starter or do I need to buy those separately?
The hammer ships as a single 16 in. steel-handled unit with rubber grip; nail sets magnetic starters and any other accessories are sold separately.
