HAMMER TIME
There are some cool-looking hammers out there these days. These fist-size lumps of highly polished steel with wicked-looking claws and long, shaped handles are great—if you frame walls for a living.
But for most work around the house, you're better off with a 16-oz. claw hammer—the same kind most carpenters use when they're not framing. A quality one will cost $25 to $30. Although straight-claw hammers look more powerful and are better at prying, a curved-claw model is more compact and better at pulling nails. You can drop down to a 13-oz. hammer (the weight is stamped on the head) for trim work, and you might want a 20- or 22-oz. hammer for framing. But don't be tempted by those 24-, 28- or 32-oz. monsters.
There are four handle types to choose from: fiberglass, graphite, hickory and steel. Hickory handles are comfortable, but heads can work loose and may need periodic reshimming with steel wedges. Wood handles can also break with vigorous nail pulling or repeated overstriking. The head and handle on all-steel hammers are forged as one piece; that's great for strength, but your hand and wrist bear the full force of each hammer blow. Updated designs use fiberglass or graphite handles, which are recommended for their durability and shock-absorbing qualities.
