Carbatec 16oz (450g) Claw Hammer: A Forged Steel Workhorse Built to Last
Get a hammer that swings true, holds its edge and feels right in your hand from the very first strike. The Carbatec 16oz (450g) Claw Hammer is forged from 1045 carbon steel for the strength and durability you need across general woodworking, carpentry and construction. The rim-tempered striking face is hardened to 50–58 HRC, so it resists wear and shrugs off the deformation that dulls lesser hammers over time. Whether you're framing, fitting or finishing, this is a tool that keeps performing job after job.
The details make all the difference here. A built-in magnetic nail holder lets you start nails one-handed, which is a real bonus when you're working overhead or squeezed into tight spaces. The polished oxhide leather handle gives you a comfortable, secure grip while naturally soaking up vibration, so your hands stay fresher through long sessions. Unlike a steel handle, leather stays comfortable in hot or cold conditions, and its stacked construction balances durability, control and cushioning. Better still, it develops a beautiful natural patina with use while losing none of its practical performance.
