Crescent 11418C-06 Ripping Claw Hammer Fiberglass Handle

Product Description

The CRESCENT 11418C-06 is a ripping claw hammer designed for demolition, framing, and general carpentry work where pulling nails and splitting materials is part of the job. The head features a 1.21-inch diameter smooth, polished striking face for clean, consistent contact on nail heads. The straight ripping claw geometry makes it effective for prying apart lumber and removing embedded fasteners. The handle is constructed from fiberglass with an overmold grip, providing vibration damping and a secure hold during repetitive striking tasks. At 1.75 pounds, this hammer balances driving power with manageable swing weight for extended use on the jobsite.

The 11418C-06 suits residential and light commercial construction applications including wood framing, rough carpentry, remodeling, and demolition. The ripping claw profile is preferred when straight prying leverage is needed rather than curved nail pulling. The fiberglass handle with grip is well-suited for trades professionals who need durability and reduced fatigue during full-day use. The rawhide black finish on the head provides a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance.

Installation Notes

Inspect the handle and head connection before each use to confirm the head is fully seated and secure. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving fasteners or performing demolition work.
