NAIL HAMMERS for straight purlin joiners.

Carpenter's nail hammers with straight split purlin, flat or bush hammered head.
Hammers with vinyl handle or with leather handle.

Carpenter: From plans, the carpenter creates the exterior (windows, shutters) and interior (stairs, doors, cupboards, parquet floors) of homes, shops and offices. On the site, he also installs the elements he prefabricated in the workshop.

The nail hammers shown here are all straight split nail pullers.
Straightpurlin nail puller hammersallow nails to be pulled very close to walls
because the handle is quite straight but they have difficulty getting the nails out.

Curved purlin hammers easily tear off nails but they should not be close to the wall
because the handle is blocked by the wall.
A full chapter is devoted to
curved purlin nail pullers .

Carpenter's hammers are 280mm to 405mm long.
They exist either with flat or striated table (head) (bush hammered).
The leather handle is made of crimped, polished and varnished leather washers.
With leather ... quality and aesthetics place the hammer in the category of high-end tools.

The vinyl handle is equipped with the Estwing "Shock Reduction Grip®"
which offers maximum comfort and durability, while reducing vibrations caused by impact.

    The tools are forged in one piece from very high quality steel. The molded nylon or crimped leather handles are made by a process that allows for a very long service life.

    All tools with nylon handles are now produced with the new Estwing shockproof system. The reduction of vibrations due to impacts and transmitted in the handles of the tools is the best solution on the market.
