Rip-claw hammer for heavy-duty tasks
The Westward 6DWH6 is a 16 oz rip-claw hammer built for demolition, framing and general striking work. Its carbon steel head delivers strong impact force while the axe-style fibreglass handle provides a secure grip. The tool suits tradespeople and DIY users who need a durable, all-purpose striking tool.
Simple to start, watch the handle
No assembly is required; the hammer is ready to use straight from the package. The fibreglass handle resists splintering but can transmit vibration on very hard surfaces. Users should inspect the head-to-handle bond periodically, as heavy prying with the claw can loosen the connection over time.
Limited by manual striking power
The 13 in overall length gives good leverage but the tool relies entirely on user swing force. It cannot drive large fasteners into dense material as quickly as a powered nailer. The smooth face avoids marring workpieces but offers less grip on nail heads than a milled face. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
