The Milwaukee® 17oz Smooth Face Framing Hammer was designed from the ground up to address common user frustrations with hammers currently on the market, providing a superior framing force with up to 10X less sting. The new hammer features a steel I-beam handle to withstand the toughest jobsite conditions and a SHOCKSHIELD™ grip which is the most durable grip in the industry and reduces vibration. The hammer also features an anti-ring claw design that reduces noise and ringing when striking hardened objects, providing a quieter user experience.
