Vaughan's Split-Head Hammers feature quality American craftsmanship. The patented design lets you quickly change faces or handles. The iron head clamps with uniform pressure for solid and dependable performance. The extension collar transfers the impact force to a larger section of the handle, reducing impact stress on the user and decreasing handle breaks. The all-rawhide faces are compressed and then seasoned for uniformity and durability. The sturdy hardwood handle creates good balance for effective strikes. Well suited for working with motors, engines and other steel machinery.
