A heavier hammer, 20 to 28 ounces, with a long handle, a straight claw and usually a milled waffle face that grips nail heads. The weight and the milled face drive framing nails in fewer swings. Not for finish work - the face marks the surface.

Buying tip
Heavier with a milled face for rough framing. Too aggressive for finish work.
