This is a 225 g claw hammer with a tubular shaft, designed for general-purpose woodworking, light carpentry and everyday DIY tasks where a lighter, more controllable striking mass is required. The claw head allows efficient nail removal and light prising, while the 225 g head weight gives improved accuracy for finishing work, picture hanging and small assembly tasks.

The head is drop-forged from medium carbon steel (commonly C45 grade) and heat-treated to achieve the necessary combination of toughness and hardness required of striking tools. The striking face is machined and polished to reduce mushrooming, and the claw is formed for a curved profile ideal for nail extraction. The shaft is a hollow tubular steel construction that reduces overall weight while retaining lateral strength; the shaft is finished with a corrosion-resistant coating and fitted with a non-slip polymer grip to improve comfort and reduce transmitted vibration. As a hand tool, the hammer is manufactured in accordance with relevant hand tool standards (DIN/ISO/BS where applicable), and is produced to the dimensional and safety expectations commonly applied to professional carpentry hammers. Thread type and drive type are not applicable to this product.

Typical applications include joinery finishing, trim work, small-scale construction, stage and set work, and general maintenance tasks across trades such as carpentry, plumbing and electrical where a light striking tool is preferred. The lighter head weight makes this hammer particularly useful in delicate operations where control and repeatability are important, reducing the risk of overdriving nails or damaging soft materials.

Key benefits of this tubular-shaft claw hammer are the reduced overall weight combined with retained striking strength, corrosion-resistant shaft finish for extended service life, and the fatigue-reducing grip which improves user comfort during prolonged use. The forged and heat-treated head provides reliable toughness and impact resistance while the polished face helps limit head deformation over time.
