WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

It is not cheap, but its price buys alloyed steel that is hardened and tempered, a forged all-steel handle, a low-vibration two-component grip and magnetic nail holder. It is a trade-specific lath hammer, not an all-purpose prestige object.

MATERIALS

Head and handleForged, alloyed Picard special steel

Carefully hardened/tempered steel and integral handle resist loose-head failure.

GripTwo-component elastomer grip

Adds a low-vibration, high-control interface to a full-steel hammer.

IDEAL FOR

·Roofing
·Carpentry
·Lath work
·Users wanting a magnetic nail holder

NOT FOR

·Delicate finished surfaces
·Buyers seeking a conventional 16 oz household curved claw

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

The compact 315 mm body, bright steel head, magnetic holder and two-material grip are thoughtfully work-oriented. The pointed/lath-hammer style claw brings reach, but is more aggressive and less finish-friendly than a household curved claw.

LONGEVITY

Very high structural longevity from its forged whole-steel handle and hardened/tempered alloy. The grip is the likely wear item; no separate grip availability was evidenced.
