The 20 oz "999" Series hammers are based on a unique rip hammer design originated by Vaughan. The extra steel behind the striking face and the deep throat, octagon neck and smoothly swept claws creates a hammer that looks as good as it feels in use. Available in two lengths, with either smooth or milled face, its superb balance and comfortable grip make this hammer a favorite of tradesmen. Top quality, white hickory handle is triple wedged. Rust-resistant powder coat finish.
