Claw & Carpenter’s Hammers
-
Checked grips the nail and suits framing; plain leaves no marks in finishing.
It can mark visible surfaces, so use a plain face for finishing.
Hickory is more comfortable and damps vibration well; fibreglass resists moisture and poor storage better.

A carpenter’s hammer is for driving and pulling nails and for assembling timber structures, framing and furniture. Working all day, it’s not just weight that counts but balance and vibration damping, which drive accuracy and hand fatigue. A checked (milled) face grips the nail in framing, while a plain face leaves no marks on visible surfaces. Mastercity offers Picard and Ruthe carpenter’s hammers with hickory, fibreglass or steel handles, and we help you match the balance and face to the job.
