Overview

At 11.7 ounces and 10 inches long, this Bates hammer sits toward the lighter end of the hammer range rather than a heavy framing hammer. It holds a 4.2 star rating from 15 reviews with about 400 recent purchases.

At under 12 ounces and 10 inches long, this hammer sits closer to a tack or finishing hammer than a full size framing hammer, which typically run 16 to 20 ounces. The lighter weight trades striking force for easier control on lighter fastening work. The listing does not specify head style, so confirm that from the photos.
