Framing hammer [Posted on 2008-05-03] This is a great hammer. The weight is especially comfortable at 21oz. Well balanced and easy to swings. Beats an all steel or fiberglass hammer hands down. Another useful feature is that the claws are straight on this hammer. THis mean you can reach nails that need to be pulled in tight spaces, this flip side of this feature is that you lose a lot of the leverage that you get with curved hammer and it's easier to break the handle. I'd recommend pulling the nail by rocking it sideways rather than pulling straight back on it. My only complaint is in the claws of the hammer. The slot is adequate for pulling 16d nails but there is very little taper to them and nails tend to slip out easier than with other hammers I've owned. I suppose however, that as I gain experience as a carpenter that I will make fewer mistakes and pulling nails won't be as big of an issue.
