Hammer Has A Front-Mounted Claw

Hammer Has A Front-Mounted Claw FARM SHOP Tools 30-6-39 Once you've tried it you'll never go back, says the inventor of this new front-claw hammer. Inventor David Stewart of LaFollette, Tenn., has 45 years of construction experience, and says his patented hammer is ideally weighted and balanced to drive long nails with only a couple of blows. The front claw pulls 12 to 20-penny nails with no need to flip the hammer over. "It also holds a nail in the front claw so you can use only one hand to set or pull a nail over your head. Also, the front claw can be used to twist a stud when framing," says Stewart. The Stewart Hammer comes in 16-oz. to 28-oz. head sizes. It's available with your choice of a smooth or serrated face and comes with a lifetime warranty. It has a pvc grip and the head is a single piece of forged 1070 carbon steel. At www.stewarttools.com, the hammer prices range from $22 to $34 plus S&H.
