Milwaukee Hammers

A framing hammer is designed for driving nails and general construction tasks, while a sledge hammer delivers significantly greater striking force for demolition, breaking materials, and driving stakes.

A ball peen hammer is commonly used for metalworking, shaping metal, and striking punches or chisels. A framing hammer is designed primarily for construction and fastening applications.

A rip claw hammer has straighter claws that are useful for pulling nails, prying boards, separating materials, and rough carpentry work. A curved claw hammer is better suited for general nail pulling and lighter-duty use where prying is less common.

For demolition, framing, and construction work, many professionals prefer a rip claw design because it provides more leverage for pulling and prying.

Steel handle hammers are durable and built for demanding jobsite use. Fiberglass handles help absorb shock and resist weather, moisture, and common jobsite wear. Hickory wood handles offer a traditional feel with natural shock absorption and are often preferred by carpenters who like a classic swing.

Titanium hammers, such as STILETTO® hammers, are designed to reduce weight while still delivering strong striking performance. They are often chosen by professionals who swing a hammer frequently and want to reduce fatigue over the workday.

A titanium hammer is typically lighter than a comparable steel hammer, helping reduce arm fatigue during repeated use. Titanium hammers are popular with carpenters, framers, and tradespeople who swing a hammer throughout the day and want a balance of striking performance, comfort, and reduced weight.

Titanium hammers are usually a premium option, so they are best suited for users who value lighter weight and all-day comfort.
