EE-HAM
This framing hammer is made by Dogyu, a Japanese tool company that has been in business since 1908. The hammer’s head features a magnetized groove that holds nails for your convenience. The hammer is light enough to be comfortable to swing and heavy enough to drive nails effectively.

The hammer's claw is quite sharp and provides efficient leverage for pulling nails. The long fiberglass handle has an anti-slip cover to increase its functionality.

These design feature ensure that nails go in efficiently and are pulled out efficiently as well. All in all a worthwhile tool bag addition for both professionals and DIYers.

Total length: about 15.25 inches (390mm), head diameter about 1.2 inches (29mm). Weight: approx. 1.5 lbs. Waffle-pattern hammer face.

Customer Reviews:
stating the obvious?
By: Dylan (Nov, 2025)
Every hammer is a compromise- this one is really great at driving nails. Framed a decent amount with it. A little lighter in the hand than a 19oz framer, so not good for bumping walls around or driving concrete nails. Super sticky grip. The long nose gets in there and around corners better than your usual american framing style. The handle is actually long enough to get some swing. The contact faces on the sides are smart. The claw is good at pulling nails, but terrible at separating boards and prying. You've got to have a flat bar nearby which isn't the case w a regular rip claw hammer. So, in true japanese style, better not make mistakes ;)
I own this product.
