STEELHEAD SH-PB-B1-15-1 Flat Pry Bar 15 Inch

Overview

Weighing about 0.7 kilograms, roughly 1.5 pounds, the STEELHEAD SH-PB-B1-15-1 combines a carbon steel head with an alloy steel handle in one piece. That weight places it with standard hammers for everyday driving rather than heavy demolition work.

Unlike the heavier hammers in this batch, this one's roughly 1.5 pound weight and one piece steel build point toward general purpose use, the kind of hammer that stays in a bag or on a bench rather than one reserved for breaking concrete.

• Carbon steel head
• Alloy steel handle, one piece build
• 0.7 kilogram (about 1.5 lb) weight

Who it's for

Suited to general household, workshop, or light construction use where a standard weight, durable steel hammer covers most driving tasks. Less suited to heavy demolition work, which calls for a much heavier sledge instead.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At roughly 1.5 pounds, this hammer sits in the same weight class as a standard claw or utility hammer, light enough for controlled one handed swings. The one piece steel construction, carbon steel head paired with an alloy steel handle, removes the loosening risk that comes with a separately fitted handle over repeated use.
