Spec Ops Tools Nailing Hammer, 20 oz, Rip Claw, Smooth Face, Shock-Absorbing Grip, 3% Donated to Veterans

This hammer is an upgrade to my traditional claw hammer. Its comfort and size ... gives a great feel and balance with every swing. I also love the magnetic nail starter. However, the black paint tends to chip away with usage. Nevertheless, the look and the design of this Spec Ops Rip Claw hammer is uniquely appealing. In addition to ... the soft mallet cap which protects finished wood works and delicate frame pieces perfectly when finishing nails.FACTs: I greatly appreciate Spec Ops generous action of donating 3% of the purchase cost to our veterans. "Much love for that" ... and may ... "GOD bless our veterans, likewise thank you ALL for your brave and unselfish sacrifices."

I bought a few of these to try out, the mallet cap caught my eye. I run a water mitigation company, my guys are always doing controlled demo and we try not to destroy surrounding materials. Very balanced hammer, impressive swing on its own, but the mallet cap is the chefs kiss. I thought I’ve ended up with over 10 of these hammers in the last month, my older techs ask for them once they see them in use. The fact that sales support veterans is icing on the cake. If you haven’t yet you should check out their other tools. The stapler is lightweight and strong, nail puller great at getting into small spaces.

Nice, good quality

I like this hammer. The best feature is the option to use with the plastic cover. I am a professional trim carpenter. I have years upon years of experience. I purchased this model for more specific size and weight. Rarely does a hammer get used to drive a nail. At least in my world. Sometimes it does happen, but Rarely. A hammer is used to tap and or beat things into place. I don't do alot of framing, so the need for heavier and larger hammers are not a necessity. I got the 20 ounce for both the occasional framing need, and to move some tighter boards into place. As long as some occasional demolition work. Again beating on stuff. I used this hammer on a personal project that required both some demolition and some framing. It was the perfect size and weight for my need. The plastic cap came into play as not to damage some material. My everyday hammer is a 16 ounce as a trim carpenter. This one will fill the needs when that is a little too small

Great build quality and it looks badass! The rubber mallet head piece is worth it alone!

i nice enough hammer , seems to be well made and comfortable. However the implication of being American made is complete BS. clearly states on the tool that it is made in Taiwan. Disappointing.

I bought this after seeing someone on youtube using one. Considering how many times I had covered the head of my previous hammer to prevent marring a work surface, this seemed like one time when a video could be trusted. The rubber cover is not only fantastic but the hammer itself is also good. Much better than my old traditional model. Only wish the rubber cover would fit other hammers but it is custom molded for this one. Guess that makes sense so it doesn't fall off!

My husband loves it! It's perfect size and high quality. Comfortable grip so it doesn't slip out of your hands. Worth it.
