Stanley 51-169 Framing Hammer 28 Oz Checkered Face

Product Description

The STANLEY 51-169 is a 28-ounce framing hammer built for heavy-duty rough framing, sheathing, and structural fastening work. It features a checkered face to reduce nail deflection on contact and an anti-vibration design that dampens strike shock at the handle, reducing fatigue during extended use. The rip claw configuration makes it suitable for pulling nails and prying lumber. At 2.71 pounds, it carries enough mass for driving large framing nails without excessive swing effort. This hammer is intended for professional framers, general contractors, and carpenters who drive nails at production rates.

This hammer is suited for residential and light commercial framing applications including wall framing, roof framing, floor decking, and sheathing. The 28-ounce head weight is a common choice for production framing where a heavier strike reduces the number of blows needed per fastener. The anti-vibration system benefits crews working full days on structural framing tasks where repetitive impact stress accumulates.

Key Features

• 28-ounce head weight for high-mass framing strikes
• Checkered face pattern reduces nail slippage and deflection
• Anti-vibration construction dampens handle shock during use
• Rip claw geometry suited for nail pulling and board prying
• Sold individually (UOM: Each)

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose framing hammer suitable for standard wire, sinker, and common nails used in wood-frame construction.

Installation Notes

Inspect the hammer head and handle connection before each use to confirm the head is fully seated and secure. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving nails, as checkered-face hammers can generate more surface contact and chip debris. Always use the hammer for its intended striking purpose and avoid using the side of the head or handle for prying beyond the designed claw capacity.
