This 7 oz house hammer is sized for the everyday tasks that make up most household jobs, though it's not intended for driving spikes, persuading beams or demolition work.
The handle is 10" of genuine hickory, which absorbs shock and gives the hammer a comfortable, well-balanced feel.
Yes, its light 7 oz head makes it a good size for a child learning to use a hammer, though it's a real tool and not a toy.
Yes, the claws are nicely tapered and the nail slot is flared, so the hammer pulls a range of nail sizes cleanly in addition to driving them.
A lighter hammer is easier to control and less tiring to swing for repeated light tasks such as hanging pictures or assembling furniture, where a heavier framing hammer would be unwieldy.
