Overview

The Thor 11-710N is a nylon faced hammer with a wood handle, weighing 14.88 ounces and sold as a single piece. Thor is a longstanding maker of soft face hammers used where a steel hammer would mark or damage the work surface.

A nylon face strikes without denting soft metals, plastics or finished surfaces, which is the main reason to choose this over a standard steel hammer. The wood handle absorbs some shock on repeated strikes, and at under a pound the head is sized for control rather than maximum driving force.

Who it's for

Mechanics, installers and anyone assembling or adjusting parts that a steel hammer would damage benefit from this soft face design. Buyers needing to drive nails or do heavy demolition should choose a standard claw or framing hammer instead.
