Made for woodworkers and artisans, this 16 oz brass 12 sided (dodecagon) head is attached to a 8 oz aluminum handle to give you more striking power even when you are fully choked up with your grip. The balance is centered about 1/2” below the head and in your palm for control but with an 8” handle you can hold it further away from your hand and pound things into place with ease. Handle comes raw as shown or black anodized (Type III) for a durable finish.
