Overview
The IVY 15005 is a single hammer with a metal head and a hickory wood handle, weighing 5 ounces total. That places it well below the 16 ounce range typical of a standard claw hammer, more in line with light tack or craft hammers.
At 5 ounces, this is a light-duty hammer rather than a general framing or claw hammer, better suited to small nails, tacks or delicate work than driving large fasteners. The hickory handle is a traditional choice for shock absorption and durability compared to fiberglass or steel handles. It ships as a single piece, not part of a set.
- Metal hammer head
- Hickory wood handle
- 5 ounce total weight
- Sold as a single piece
Who it's for
Fits someone who needs a light hammer for small tacks, craft projects or delicate assembly work, not general construction. Skip it if you need something to drive framing nails or larger fasteners.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light 5 ounce weight for precise, controlled taps
- Hickory handle for shock absorption
- Too light for driving large nails or framing
Performance notes
The metal head concentrates weight at the striking face despite the hammer's overall light 5 ounce weight, while the hickory handle absorbs some shock on impact. Its light weight favors control and precision over driving force, so it will tap small fasteners well but will not substitute for a heavier hammer on larger nails. It comes as a single unit with no accessories.
