Customer Reviews:
A classic March 21, 2009
Mel D. (California)
Why is a good wooden handled hammer so hard to find at the hardware store these days? Everything has gone fancy heads, shafts and grips. Hammer designs seem to change faster than shampoo bottles.
This is the hammer I reach for first.
Vaughan has the best shaped handle on the market for a traditional hammer. American hickory used for the handle is known for its strength, lightweight and shock absorbing ability. Vaughan has properly polished the head unlike a lot of hammers out there in this price range which harks back to a time when making a quality wooden handled hammer mattered more than it obviously does today.
16oz is the perfect weight for use around the house. Rip-claw vs. typical curved claw lets you take stuff apart (demo time!).
Caveat: fits best in bare hands (can be slippery with gloves due to lacquered finish on handle).
Rip Roaring Hammer! March 29, 2007

The Vaughan 16 ounce Rip Hammer is my weapon of choice while tackling this year's demolition project. I'm not a professional, just a retired do-it-yourselfer with a 100 year home that always seems to need attention. This is a well balanced hammer that lets me tear down without tearing up my shoulder, arm and hand. I don't need to let the wrong tool do more damage to me than to what I'm tearing down. As with my Vaughan 14-Ounce Dalluge Titanium Hammer and Vaughan 19-Ounce California Framer you can rely on the Vaughan name for quality. At the price, you can't go wrong. ~ The Boss

I am a finish carpenter and wanted a lighter hammer but prefer the longer handle. This hammer has both of these features and is a good quality, well ballanced hammer. Would buy again.
