Claw Hammers - Framing Hammers

An indispensable staple for any toolbox, the claw hammer is the quintessential tool for driving and removing nails. Its iconic design features a flat striking face for delivering powerful blows and a forked claw on the opposite side for prying, splitting, and extracting fasteners with maximum leverage. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional tradesperson, our selection offers the perfect hammer for any application.

Shop the Right Claw Hammer:

• Curved Claw Hammer: The most common type, ideal for general household tasks and finish carpentry. The curved claw provides superior leverage, making it exceptionally efficient at pulling out nails with minimal effort.

• Straight Claw Hammer: Often called a rip hammer, the straight claw hammer is built for more rugged tasks. Its straight claw is perfect for prying apart boards, demolition work, and getting into tighter spaces where a curved claw won't fit.

• Framing Hammers: These are heavy-duty claw hammers designed for professional construction and framing. Typically featuring a heavier head (20-32 oz), a longer handle for increased striking force, and a milled or "waffle" face that grips nail heads to prevent slipping, framing hammers are built for speed and power on the job site.

Browse our collection to find the right combination of head weight, handle material (hickory, fiberglass, or steel), and claw design to match your project's demands.
