The Rolson 10334 8 oz Tubular Steel Claw Hammer is one of the cheapest available hammers on the UK market place at the moment. However do not let the low price of £5.50 put you off buying this one.
Buyers who have made the purchase rate it highly. Overall it has managed to maintain, a consistent rating of 88% buyer satisfaction. That is based on over 250 online reviews from Amazon and other online websites who sell this product.
A normal hammer such as the Stanley 16 ounce is classed as a normal weight for a hammer. This one from the Rolson brand, is just half of that weight. The main reason this one is so light, is that rather than a solid shaft, this one is made from tubular steel.
That makes this hammer really light to lift and use. You do however lose out on the power of the blow of the hammer. This one is therefore ideal for the lighter jobs, such as putting a nail into the wall for hanging pictures etc.
This would not be a good choice for medium to heavy work. It is simply too light, and would not stand up to the rigours of the harder jobs. If you prefer a heavier hammer, then check out our top 5 list of claw hammers here. However, if you think this may be the right one for you, then please read on.
It is worth pointing out that this hammer is available in both 16 ounce and 20 ounce sizes, but that it is considerably more expensive in those sizes.
