Overview
Vaughan's WBXXX hammer pairs a carbon steel head with a hickory wood handle, weighing 1.3 pounds and sold as a single piece, rated 4.4 from 127 reviews.
Hickory is a traditional handle material valued for absorbing shock on impact, and at 1.3 pounds the head sits on the lighter end for a hammer, suited to general striking rather than heavy framing. Claw or face style is not specified.

Who it's for
General household or light workshop use where a lighter hammer is easier to swing repeatedly. Not for heavy framing or demolition work, where more head weight helps drive larger fasteners.
Strengths and trade-offs

- Hickory handle absorbs shock better than some synthetic grips
- Carbon steel head resists wear
- 4.4 rating from 127 reviews
- 1.3 pound head is light for heavy framing work

Performance notes
Carbon steel resists wear and deformation on the striking face, while the hickory handle absorbs some shock on impact compared with rigid synthetic grips. At 1.3 pounds the head favors control over maximum driving force.
