Overview
The Century 72280 is a single-piece wood hammer weighing about 0.55 pounds, with both handle and head listed as wood construction. That build suits light tapping and assembly work rather than heavy driving.
Both the material and handle specs list wood, which points to a wood mallet-style hammer rather than a steel-head model. That construction reduces marring on finished wood surfaces during chisel work or joint assembly. At 0.55 pounds it is light enough for one-handed control on small tasks.

Who it's for
Suits hobbyists and woodworkers doing light joinery, chisel taps, or craft assembly where a non-marring wood hammer helps. Not intended for buyers who need a heavy-duty framing or demolition hammer.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight for one-handed control
- Wood build reduces marring on wood surfaces
- Single piece so head cannot loosen
- Limited driving force for heavy nails
- Not suited to demolition or framing
Performance notes
Wood construction for both head and handle keeps the swinging mass low, which favors control over driving force. That makes it better suited to tapping joints together or setting small fasteners than pounding large nails. The single-piece build also means there is no head to loosen over time the way a separate head-and-handle hammer can.
