Overview
This hammer weighs 14.9 ounces and measures 11 inches overall, a size and weight in line with a standard household claw hammer rather than a heavy framing hammer.
At just under a pound, this hammer sits lighter than the 16 to 20 ounce range common for framing or heavy construction hammers, making it easier to swing for longer stretches of light work. The 11 inch length keeps it a one-hand tool rather than a two-hand framing hammer. Brand and model naming on this listing do not indicate a specific hammer style such as claw, tack, or ball-peen.

Who it's for
Homeowners doing general household repairs, picture hanging, or light assembly where a full framing hammer would be overkill. Not built for heavy demolition or repeated framing work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light weight reduces swing fatigue
- 11 inch length suits tight spaces
- Lighter build limits heavy driving force
- Exact head style not specified on the listing
Performance notes
At 14.9 ounces, this hammer is light enough for extended light-duty swinging without fatigue, though that same lightness means less driving force per swing than a heavier framing hammer. Its 11 inch length keeps it maneuverable in tight spaces.
