Reality Check
CRAFTSMAN’s 16 oz. Fiberglass Hammer is designed for everyday hammering and prying jobs around the house or on light job sites. It features a durable fiberglass handle intended to withstand the impact and repetitive use that comes with driving and pulling nails, while the over-mold grip aims to provide a more comfortable hold during work.
In day-to-day use, most users appreciate its dependable construction and practical comfort grip, which make it a solid pick for basic carpentry and repair tasks. However, some users note that the balance of the hammer feels off, and the comfort of the handle is debated—especially on longer projects. The relatively basic claw design is functional but doesn’t offer any standout innovation. For those sensitive to ergonomic balance, this could mean hand fatigue over time.
