Milwaukee Hammers

Milwaukee Hammers by Job

Milwaukee hammers cover framing, finish, metalwork, and demolition. The lineup includes milled face and smooth face framing hammers from 17oz to 28oz, hybrid claw and rip claw hammers, steel and dead blow ball peen hammers, dead blow hammers, a 4-in-1 lineman's hammer, a drywall hammer, and fiberglass engineer, cross peen, and drilling hammers. Handle options include poly/fiberglass, fiberglass, and hickory.

What to Look For

  • Face. A milled face grips nail heads for framing. A smooth face leaves fewer marks on finish work.
  • Weight. Lighter heads give control for trim. 22oz and up drive large nails with fewer swings.
  • Handle. Hickory has a traditional feel. Fiberglass and poly/fiberglass handles hold up to weather and overstrikes.
  • Specialty heads. Dead blow hammers stop rebound. Ball peen and cross peen hammers shape metal and drive punches.

Milwaukee Hammers FAQ

Which Milwaukee hammer is best for framing?

Most framers pick a milled face framing hammer between 19oz and 22oz. Go heavier, like the 28oz model, if you drive a lot of large nails and can handle the extra weight. Choose a smooth face if you also do exposed work.

Are Milwaukee hammers covered by a warranty?

Yes. Milwaukee hand tools, including hammers, carry a limited lifetime warranty. Registration is not required. It extends to original purchasers who bought from an authorized Milwaukee distributor in the US or Canada.
