DeWALT Hammers
Choosing a DeWALT Hammer
DeWALT hammers in this collection cover framing, finish, and masonry work. Framing choices include MIG weld framing hammers, a 21 oz. fiberglass framing hammer, and a 17 oz. hickory hammer. General carpentry options include one-piece steel hammers from 16 to 22 oz., steel hammers from 12 to 22 oz., a curve claw hammer, and MIG weld nailing hammers. For masonry, there is a 3 lb. drilling hammer and a 20 oz. bricklayer hammer.
What to Look For
- Head weight. 12 to 16 oz. heads suit trim and general use. 20 to 22 oz. heads drive framing nails with fewer swings.
- Handle material. One-piece steel and MIG weld hammers are the most durable. Fiberglass and hickory handles absorb more shock.
- Claw and face. Curve claws pull nails; straight rip claws split and pry. Milled faces grip framing nails, while smooth faces avoid marring finish work.

What is a MIG weld hammer?
A MIG weld hammer has its head welded to a steel handle, so the head cannot loosen or separate. DeWALT offers MIG weld hammers in framing and nailing styles in this collection.
What warranty does DeWALT offer on hammers?
DeWALT hand tools carry a limited lifetime warranty. It applies to the original buyer of products bought from DeWALT or an authorized seller, and excludes abuse and normal wear. Proof of purchase may be required.
