    Unparalleled Form

    The handles are cut from carefully sourced, hand selected cherry. Each one is carefully shaped into its signature form and hand sanded within very close tolerances. They are given a hand rubbed oil finish creating a rich color and satiny surface. The head is precision made from high carbon 440C stainless tool steel, which has excellent rust resistance, and weighs 3.4 ounces. It has a 29mm diameter face and is certified at 58 Rockwell hardness for maximum toughness and durability. It is laser engraved with the Nechamkin and Otto Frei Trademarks.

    Heads are manually fitted,to their handles, and fixed in place with a hand cut hardwood wedge,the old fashioned way. Store your hammer in its re-sealable plastic bag to protect it and keep it like new.

    Unparalleled Ergonomic Function

    Nechamkin Pistol Grip hammer design has ergonomic function unparalleled by other handles. This grip design provides easy control for light to medium-heavy strokes with a delicate whipping action; eliminating gripping errors that lead to fatigue when chasing for extended periods.

    The grip fits naturally in the palm allowing the hand to relax, wrist to remain effortlessly straight, and the shoulder to drop. Strain on the upper body is reduced, lessening chances of repetitive motion injury. Simply put, these hammers are a pleasure to hold and use. Once you use this hammer no other will do.

    * Due to the thin nature of the handle, if misused they can break. For this reason they are not guaranteed. If breakage occurs, please contact Toolmaker@Nechamkin.com for replacement and re-mounting service.
