High-carbon steel 1 lb octagonal (eight-sided) hammer with solid wood handle and black adhesive treatment. Polished finish produces individual texture and color variations; the head is firmly embedded and resistant to loosening. Key benefits Reliable striking power: 1 lb head weight delivers controlled impact for common carpentry and repair tasks without excessive rebound. Durable construction: forged high-carbon steel head resists wear and holds up under repeated use. Secure handle attachment: solid wood handle is set with a black adhesive treatment and firmly embedded to reduce the risk of the head loosening or falling off. Distinct appearance: polished finish gives each hammer a unique texture and color variation while providing a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. Features Head material: high-carbon steel, octagonal (eight-sided) profile for accurate striking and reduced glancing blows. Handle material: solid wood for natural shock absorption and comfortable grip. Attachment: black glue/adhesive treatment used to secure the head to the handle. Weight: 1 lb (specification as provided). Finish: polished; individual texture/color may vary between units. Performance and usability Balanced for controlled swings and repeatable strikes; suitable for tasks that require moderate force and precision. Solid wood handle offers a comfortable feel and some vibration damping compared with all-metal handles. The octagonal head face provides a stable striking surface and helps prevent the hammer from rolling when set down. Typical applications Carpentry and woodworking: driving and removing nails, assembling frames, furniture repair. General home repairs and DIY: hanging hardware, light demolition, and small renovation tasks. Workshop and maintenance: striking chisels, setting pins, and other light-to-moderate striking duties. What to expect A sturdy, practical hammer built for everyday use with materials and assembly intended to minimize loosening over time. Slight variations in color and surface texture because of the polished finish; these variations are normal and do not affect performance.
