A fiberglass claw hammer is the modern "all-rounder" of the tool world. It sits right in the sweet spot between the traditional feel of a wooden hammer and the indestructible (but jarring) nature of an all-steel hammer. Why Choose Fiberglass? Feature Benefit Vibration Dampening Fiberglass is much better at absorbing shock than steel. This means less "sting" in your hand and less fatigue on your wrist and elbow during long projects. Non-Conductive Fiberglass handles do not conduct electricity. This makes them the "industry standard" for electricians or anyone working near potential live wires. Weather Resistance Unlike wood, fiberglass won't shrink, warp, or rot if left in a damp shed or the back of a truck. The head is also less likely to "loosen" over time. Weight Distribution Because the handle is lightweight, most of the hammer's weight is in the head. This provides a better "swing" and more striking power for less effort.
