23 oz. Framing Hammer - Extreme Rip Claw
[DFR-2316CX]

I've been a framer in southwest Florida for the past three years. I've owned a DFR23s for the past six months and love it. I've used the trusty ole' Estwings as well as the Stanley antivibes and the "Death Stick/ Dead ON " hammers. Nothing can beat a wooden handled hammer. I love the side pull feature for those tough to pull 16d x 3 1/2" nails. The Estwings and the Stanleys have a though time pulling a nail out sideways or even prying sideways. I've bent the shafts on both. The DFR23 makes short work of side pulling nails or prying. If your not an every day user you dont have to worry about the condition your hammer will be in after a few months of lack of use, the stainless steel holds up quite nicely. (My Estwing is rusting away in my garage somewhere). I recommend this hammer to any serious carpenter, or to anyone that has the need to drive nails and loves quality tools. Theres no substitute for the right tool for the job.

it puts tha hamma in hammer - This hammer is the rebirth of the original Hart "Woody" a model that was to good so they got rid of it. this hammer makes pounding nails fun. It has a magnetic nail set for the hard to reach places and the nail puller is almost effortless to use. Thank you Douglas for returnig the best frammer ever made back to us. The replacable hanlde system makes this hammer the last one you'll ever need. Check this hammer our if you are a serious builder.

Best framing hammer ever made. I've been a carpenter for 15 years. I used to use the Hart Woody hammer when it first came out, and I loved it. However I broke the handle, and I couldn't find out where to buy a new Hart Woody hammer anywhere. Now this Douglas hammer is almost identical to my past favorite. The nail puller on the side is very useful, and the improvement of a nail holder on top makes the package complete. The only thing I wish it had was a hatchet-style handle (curved) instead of a straight handle. However I was able to customize that.
