Claws are designed to easily slip under nail heads, but some hammer manufacturers have gone the extra mile, and made a double bevel on hammer claws. The forged bevel provides clearance to allow claws to slip easily under nail heads close to the wood surface. The secondary bevel firmly grips nails of all sizes.

The bevel on the striking face of the hammer will reduce the chance of chipping the face with off center strikes, making the hammer safer to use.

A properly crowned striking face drives nails flush without marring the wood surface. The crown acts to “automatically” correct off-center strikes, minimizing nail deflection and bending.

Of course, the first thing most of us try out on a new hammer is the grip. We need to find one comfortable for us, but also one that is safe and professionally designed.

When looking at a wood handle, first make sure it is made of the finest, strongest wood; hickory. This type of handle should have a bell end to provide a secure grip during hard blows. The larger mid-section of the handle gives a good grip for light blows.

Fiberglass & Tubular Steel hammers should feature a non-slip, cushioned PVC grip molded to the handle.

When looking at the solid steel handle, make sure it features an air cushion grip for comfort and shock absorption.
