Overview
The Craftsman CMHT54179 is a single hammer with an alloy steel head and a rubber grip, weighing 16 ounces. That head weight puts it in the general purpose range used for household and light carpentry tasks.
At 16 ounces this is a standard weight for an all purpose hammer, light enough for repeated swinging without the fatigue of a framing hammer. The rubber handle is aimed at grip and shock absorption rather than the wood handles found on traditional models.
- Alloy steel head
- Rubber grip handle
- 16 ounce weight
- Sold as a single hammer
Who it's for
Suited to general household use, light carpentry and small repair jobs where a 16 ounce hammer covers most needs. Less suited to framing or heavy demolition work, which typically calls for a heavier head.
Pros and cons
- Rubber grip for comfort and shock absorption
- Standard 16 ounce head weight suits general use
- Not built for heavy framing work
- Single piece, no set
Performance notes
The alloy steel head and 16 ounce weight strike a common balance for driving and pulling nails around the house, and the rubber handle adds grip and cushions the shock of repeated swings compared with a bare wood handle. This ships as a single hammer rather than a set.
