Some people might find the idea of having a “favorite hammer” somewhat bizarre. A hammer is a hammer, right? That’s the attitude of someone who hasn’t used a great hammer yet. Sure, any of them can get the job done, but the right hammer … well, it can become a part of the user. It becomes fully, deeply indispensable. This Carpenter’s Hammer draws on Italy’s fine toolmaking and crafts heritage while bringing in modern materials and design features to create a truly outstanding tool. The 17 ¾” long oval ash handle feels just right in the hand, while the synthetic upper absorbs vibrations and locks the head in tight. Weighing 14 oz., the head is constructed from C45 steel that’s been tempered by electro-induction and coated with a black epoxy powder. The kicker? A magnetic nail set can hold a nail securely in place, allow you to drive it one-handed with a single swing of the hammer—a great feature that allows you to reach places that might otherwise require a stepladder to reach. It seems a little gimmicky until you use it, and then it makes total sense.

"Very impressed with this tool. Nice quality."
"Well made, very solid!"
"This is so amazing. I mean really! We couldn't be more happy with the product. My husband loves it so much that he doesn't want to take it to work. I might have to buy a second one just so he can use the first 1 because he loves it so much. The quality is outstanding."
"My boat-building brother was very impressed with it - especially the magnet to save fingers. He will be using it right away!"
"Perfect - as described in the catalogue"
"Have not used this item yet but it looking and feels great I look forward to many years of quality use."
"Great hammer - I have never seen one like this - love the way it grabs the nail"
"Great weight well made. . ."
"The title says it all! When I received the hammer in the mail and even looking at it in the picture I had bought it thinking it was more like a gimmick or to have something that was made in Italy in comparison to my trade. I was so surprised when I used it at work and the quality of it amazed me. I have used it every day since, it is a lot lighter than my previous hammer but just as powerful. For the price I would recommend this to anyone who is a carpenter."
"Hammer has a nice feel and weight is just right"
