Framing hammer with 22 oz head
This Westward framing hammer weighs 22 oz and measures 15 in overall. The steel head features a milled face and an induction hardened striking surface for durability. A magnetic nail holder and nail pulling groove are built into the design. The straight claw shape suits framing and demolition tasks.
Fiberglass handle with ribbed grip
The fiberglass handle absorbs vibration and reduces fatigue during extended use. Its ribbed grip provides a secure hold in varied conditions. No external power or accessories are required to operate the tool. It frees the user from managing cords or batteries on site.
Upgrade from lighter or wooden hammers
Builders moving up from lighter claw hammers gain more driving force per swing. Those replacing wooden handled models benefit from the fiberglass shaft's shock reduction. The jump is worth it when daily framing volume demands a heavier head and a vibration damped grip.

Questions about this item
How long can I swing the 22 oz head before fatigue becomes the limiting factor?
The 22 oz head weight and 15 in overall length give a balance that most framers can swing all day; fatigue usually arrives from repetition rather than the hammer itself.
Does the fiberglass handle transmit vibration or heat up during continuous nailing?
The fiberglass handle with ribbed grip dampens vibration and does not conduct heat, so the tool stays comfortable during extended use.
What else must I already own for the magnetic nail holder to be useful?
Only standard steel framing nails; the magnetic nail holder built into the head works with any common nail size without extra accessories.
