Hammers

"Jim Keith" driving hammer, named from its designer, Mr Jim Keith. This unique style driving hammer has a hollow ground or concaved driving face to prevent the hammer sliding off of the nail head and hitting you on the knee, which is important to most of us. The handle combines the strength of a steel handle so you will not break your hammer handles along with an actual wood handle for that "wood handle feel"

Octagon Shaped Face, Balanced...No Vibration - Slim Handle For Smooth Strokes. - Claw Design - Hooking Or Twisting Nails.

The Horse Head hammer is perfectly balanced and drives nails with ease. The octagonal serrated face prevents slippage. It has a good gap on the claw making the farriers job easier.

The exceptional balance, along with it's Patented design and other fine features, make the "Journeyman" a nail driving instrument. The head and handle are each hand finished down to the finest detail. The claw design makes it the only hammer available that actually shears the nail in half rather than twisting it in two. The claws have a hand ground straight slot that ends with a square bottom. The nail is cleanly cut and falls free. No more having to dig the nail end out of the claws to keep on working because the cutting area is larger and not in one spot. 9 oz

These hammers are the ultimate metal displacement tool. Handles are #1 hickory and are approximately 17" long. These handles will stay tight without soaking and the flame tempering will give you a little extra "whip".

Great care goes into the custom heat treating of these hammers. They are tempered back to be slightly softer through the bodies, and then hardened only on the striking ends. This 3 step process takes more time, but results in less vibration, and shock, with each blow of the hammer.

This is a great tool for drawing clips or controlling metal movement in all of your forging applications. It has the same handle as our rounding and clipping hammers.
