Framing Hammer
A good framing hammer head weight is between 20 and 24 ounces. The
Framing hammer I have been using for years has been a 22 ounces. The
face of the framing hammer is corrugated or rough , this helps with
gripping the nails a little better when you're driving into a piece of
wood. A smooth face on a hammer will cause the hammer to slip more
frequently off the nail.
In
building a set of stairs for the rough framing part use a corrugated
face Framing hammer. For the finish end of building the stairway use a
smooth face hammer, the reason for this is if you mess the nail head
with a corrugated framing hammer you will soon find yourself sanding
your wood finish material to remove the hammer marks left from your
hammer.
