Claw Hammers

Claw hammers can be constructed many ways but generally come in one of two forms. The first, and most popular, type of hammer is the two piece hammer. This hammer is constructed from a forged steel head with a hole for fixing a handle.

 

Another type of claw hammer is single-piece forged heat-treated steel where the head and handle are integral.

 

Another type of claw hammer is the framing hammer. This is an over-sized claw hammer used in framing carpentry.
