Claw Hammer with 16 oz Forged Steel Head, Smooth Face and Vibration-Absorbing Fiberglass Handle – IRWIN 1954889
Claw Hammer with 16 oz Forged Steel Head, Smooth Face and Vibration-Absorbing Fiberglass Handle – IRWIN 1954889
This 16 oz claw hammer combines a forged alloy-steel head with a fiberglass handle that absorbs vibration, helping reduce fatigue during general fastening, nail removal, and light prying work. Its smooth striking face is designed to leave fewer marks on the work surface, while the rip claw gives you useful leverage when nails need to come back out.
A textured ProTouch grip adds control and comfort for longer jobs. The rounded hybrid handle fits naturally in the hand, its curved base helps resist slipping, and a hardened end cap adds durability where the tool is most likely to meet rough handling. Model 1954889 is a practical single-hammer choice for a toolbox, workshop, or routine household repairs.
