A club hammer drives a chisel or a bolster with a short controlled swing, which is why the handle is short and the head is heavy for its size. It is not a small sledge hammer, and swinging it like one puts the blow in the wrong place. The short handle is what keeps the blow controlled where a chisel has to stay on its mark.
Head weight runs 1.1kg and 2.5lb through 3lb and 4lb across the range. A 2lb head suits chisel work at a bench or a wall. A 4lb head drives a bolster through brick, and the extra mass is doing the work rather than the arm.
A long handle changes the tool entirely. The same 4lb head on a long handle can be swung two-handed, which puts far more energy into the blow while keeping the head weight manageable when working one-handed. Estwing hold the EB3 ladder at 2lb, 3lb and 4lb with a long handle version of the 4lb head.
Face type matters on the specialist hammers seated here. A milled face grips a nail head so it does not skid, which suits framing. A roofers pick hammer combines a face with a point for holing tile. Tack hammers at 190g are magnetic for starting small pins. Send the work to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. Framing hammers at 15oz and 19oz in the Ultra Series sit on the same leaf by structure.
