One-pound, eight-sided hammer made from high carbon steel with a solid wooden handle — built for everyday carpentry and light trade work. Key benefits Durable head: High carbon steel head resists deformation and holds up to repeated striking for reliable long-term use. Secure connection: Black adhesive treatment bonds the head to the solid wood handle and is firmly embedded, reducing the risk of the head loosening or falling off. Balanced weight: 1 lb (16 oz) head provides a good balance of control and impact force for common driving and shaping tasks. Comfortable grip: Solid wooden handle absorbs shock and offers a natural, comfortable feel during extended use. Unique finish: Polished finish gives each hammer its own subtle texture and color variations, so no two pieces look exactly the same. Product details Head material: High carbon steel Handle material: Solid wood Head shape: Eight-sided (octagonal) Weight: 1 lb (16 oz) Finish: Polished; black adhesive treatment at handle-to-head joint, firmly embedded and not easy to fall off Performance and function Designed for consistent striking performance and precise control in general carpentry, assembly, and light metalwork. The octagonal head provides predictable contact and balance for driving nails and small shaping tasks. Solid wood handle reduces vibration and improves handling compared with rigid synthetic handles. Practical applications (examples) Finish carpentry and trim work: driving nails, fitting moldings, and light demolition where control and a comfortable handle matter. Furniture assembly and home repairs: installing hardware, assembling frames, and general household maintenance. Light metal shaping and leather or craft work: small shaping strikes and forming where a 1 lb head gives controlled impact. Care and use tips Inspect the handle-to-head joint periodically to ensure the adhesive bond remains tight. Store dry and wipe clean after use to maintain the polished finish and wood handle. Use the hammer for intended striking tasks; avoid excessive side blows to protect the handle and head bond. What makes this hammer stand out High carbon steel construction for durability, combined with a solid wooden handle for comfort and shock reduction. Secure, black adhesive-treated joint prevents loosening under normal use. Polished finish creates a distinct, textured appearance so each hammer is visually unique.
