Bates Cats Paw Nail Puller 10 Inch

Overview

At 11.7 ounces and 10 inches long, this Bates hammer sits toward the lighter end of the hammer range rather than a heavy framing hammer.

At under 12 ounces and 10 inches long, this hammer sits closer to a tack or finishing hammer than a full size framing hammer, which typically run 16 to 20 ounces. The lighter weight trades striking force for easier control on lighter fastening work. The listing does not specify head style, so confirm that from the photos.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 11.7 ounces, this hammer delivers less striking force per swing than a standard 16 ounce framing hammer, which suits precision work over raw driving power. The 10 inch length keeps it maneuverable in tight spaces.
