Amazon.com Product Description

The Dead On Extreme Framing Hammer has a unique head design and an extra leverage 19-inch handle with the Atlas reinforcement and strengthening system. This smooth face hammer has an advanced design that's precision-cast from S-7 tool steel, and it features a standard and duplex magnetic nail starter. It also boasts the Strongback handle reinforcement system -- which mechanically interlocks between the head and handle, creating a dramatically stronger handle with overstrike protection. This transfers force from the wood handle to the steel head, greatly reducing handle failures caused by pulling nails, wedging and overstrikes.

2.0 out of 5 stars The metal is too soft, June 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dead On HW22SB Extreme Framing Hammer Atlas Reinforcement and Strengthening System (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought the Woody when it first came out in 1997. It worked well, and I enjoyed the unique nail pulling feature. Unfortunately, the claw was rapidly filled with nicks from pulling nails, and the waffle face that initially looked very cool was pounded totally smooth in the first two months of use. Stainless steel is too soft for a hammer. I put this tool away when one of the claws finally broke off using it for demolition. I keep telling myself I will send it back to Hart for a refund, but don't have the time. For the money, the hammer should have lasted as long as my reliable California framer from the same company.

1.0 out of 5 stars broken handle, April 1, 2001

I'm a union carpenter I do a variety of carpentry anything from framing walls to setting concrete forms. I'm always looking for a good universal hammer so I don't have to have a tool box full of different types of hammers. I bought a Hart Woody when they first came out this stainless steel hammer was awesome, however,the head kept comming loose so I sent it back and it was replaced with this new style Woody. This new hammer is a cheaply made imitation for the some rediculious price ... I say this because I broke a claw off the first week I used it. I took it back got it replaced. Two weeks later I was pulling nails and shatered the handle because the stifback steel broke.Personally I don't think it's worth the investment.

Hammers are my thing, if there is an unusual hammer I buy it. This hammer wasn't shelved after the first job. I like the design, the weight and the nail puller on the side face.This hammer has become my main hammer at work.
