DeWalt DWHT51138 15 oz MIG Weld Framing Hammer Review

[ptradmin]

In a world of one piece forged and machined hammers, the new DeWalt DWHT51138 15oz MIG Weld Framing Hammer brings a new way of building hammers to the table. The face, claw and handle are actually separate pieces of forged steel that are permanently joined together. The benefit of the three different pieces is that they can be individually heat treated for the properties that are required. Also, by shaving off some of the extra weight and mass, DeWalt is claiming that this hammer swings like a 15 ounce hammer, but hits like a 28 ouncer. We find this to be similar to the claims that we have seen from manufactures of titanium hammers. While we like the looks of this new hammer, we wanted to know if it could stand up to real job site use and if the lightweight-extra power claim could prove itself in the field.
