Crescent Framing Hammer CHSFRM22 22 Ounce Steel Hand Tool (Milled Checkered Face Magnetic Nail Starter 70 Percent Shock Reduction Ripping Claw)

Crescent CHSFRM22 22 oz. All-Steel Milled Face Framing Hammer

The Crescent CHSFRM22 22-ounce all-steel framing hammer sinks heavy structural fasteners, joins dimensional framing lumber, and dismantles subfloor decking with maximum kinetic impact efficiency. Forged as a single continuous piece of high-tensile alloy steel and engineered with advanced vibration dampening slot technology, this heavy-duty striking tool neutralizes up to 70 percent of felt impact shock to safeguard the user's wrist and elbow during high-volume production framing. Outfitted with an optimized checkered milled face that prevents glancing blows, a magnetic nail starter for unassisted one-handed reach on ladders, a straight ripping claw for swift lumber deconstruction, and an ergonomic fawn's foot cushion grip, it equips commercial framing contractors, structural roofers, and concrete forming crews with relentless driving power and all-day swing comfort.

Best Used For:

• Commercial and Residential Timber Framing: Driving 16d common and sinker nails flush into floor joists, exterior wall studs, and roof rafters with minimal hammer strokes.
• High-Reach and Ladder Fastener Starting: Setting framing nails cleanly in awkward overhead truss intersections and elevated joist hangers using the magnetic top-channel starter.
• Structural Prying and Decking Demolition: Wedging the heavy-duty straight ripping claw between floor plates, plywood subflooring, and concrete forming assemblies to pry components apart cleanly.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 70% Vibration Reduction: Engineered head slot geometry paired with a specialized handle dampening core eliminates up to 70 percent of harsh recoil shock waves.
• All-Steel Monolithic Forging: Seamless forged alloy steel head and shaft eliminate head-separation hazards and withstand extreme overstrike punishment.
• Optimized Checkered Strike Face: Aggressive diamond-patterned waffle face centers impact energy and prevents glancing misses off fastener heads.
• Magnetic Nail Starter: Recessed top channel holds framing nails firmly for precise, fast, one-handed fastener placement in tight or elevated areas.
• Precision-Balanced Dynamic Swing: Forward-biased mass distribution amplifies strike acceleration and energy transmission without adding arm strain.
• Straight Ripping Demolition Claw: Sturdy claw tines provide clean board prying leverage, embedded nail pulling, and demolition splitting force.
• Ergonomic Fawn's Foot Grip: Textured dual-material handle overmold ensures a non-slip grasp in dusty or damp jobsite conditions.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: To protect the aggressive milled checker face from premature dulling or chipping, use the flat side of the hammer head when tapping anchor bolts or metal framing hardware; save the waffle strike face exclusively for timber framing nails.
