Overview
A hickory handle pairs with an alloy steel head on the Faithfull FAIHWALL hammer, weighing 1.21 kilograms, about 2.7 pounds. The model name points to wall or masonry work rather than fine carpentry.
Hickory is a traditional hammer handle material valued for absorbing shock on repeated strikes, while the alloy steel head adds durability against tougher surfaces like brick or block. At 2.7 pounds it carries more heft than a typical claw hammer, in line with masonry or demolition tasks.

- Single piece hammer
Who it's for
Builders and DIYers doing masonry, demolition or wall work who want a heavier hammer with a shock-absorbing wood handle. Not the choice for fine finish carpentry that calls for a lighter, more precise hammer.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Alloy steel head suits tougher striking surfaces
- Hickory handle absorbs shock on repeated use
- Heavier than a standard claw hammer
- Not suited to fine finish carpentry
Performance notes
At 2.7 pounds the head carries enough mass for demolition and masonry striking without requiring as hard a swing as a lighter hammer would need. The hickory handle flexes slightly on impact, reducing the shock transmitted back to the hand compared with a rigid steel or fiberglass handle.
