Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and the OX Pro hammer?

The OX Pro claw hammer is forged from one piece of steel, while this trade hammer has a hardened and tempered steel head on a fibreglass shaft. The fibreglass shaft gives a lighter, balanced feel with the same 20oz driving weight, which some tradespeople prefer for all day use. Both are built for trade work.

Why a fibreglass shaft?

The OX fibreglass shaft is stated as giving a lightweight feel while keeping the hammer balanced. Fibreglass does not split like timber and absorbs some of the shock of each strike. The ergonomic TPR grip adds comfort and holds firmly in the hand, which reduces fatigue on long jobs. It is a common choice for tradespeople who swing a hammer all day.

What does the curved claw do?

A curved claw is shaped to hook under nail heads and pull them out of timber. The curve gives good leverage for nail pulling, which makes it useful for both framing and stripping work. It is the most common claw shape on a trade hammer.

Is the hammer heavy?

The head weighs 20oz, which is a standard driving weight for framing and general trade work. The fibreglass shaft keeps the overall tool light, so the balance is the point rather than raw weight. The result is a hammer that drives nails well without tiring the arm. The balance means the head does the work, so the arm does not.
