Stanley Fibreglass 16 Ounce Claw Hammer Review 

Here you will find our review of the Stanley Fibreglass 16 Ounce Claw Hammer. There are many different types of hammers and this one costs in and around £10, depending on where you make your purchase. This is the most popular weight for one of these types of claw hammers, that you will find in many homes in the United Kingdom.

This particular model has all the right features, that you would want to find in a good quality hammer. The head is as solid as a rock with a polished steel head.

That along with a lightweight fibreglass handle, with an excellent grip explains why buyers rate this particular 16 ounce Stanley hammer so highly.

You can see from the image above, that this one certainly looks the part. If a neighbour asked to borrow your hammer, then you could hand them this one with some pride. Stanley are of course a very well known tool brand that produce may different styles and it is important to know the strength of a hammer.

In my opinion, there is not a lot to dislike about this hammer. The claw works well thanks to the angle, and easily pulls out nails, without a great deal of effort on your part. It is also heavy enough to drive nails home with just a few taps.

If you pulled this one out on a building site, then it would be met with nodded heads of approval.

Our Verdict on the Stanley Fibreglass 16 Ounce Claw Hammer

92%
OUR RATING

I like Stanley tools and they seldom disappoint. If you are ever buying a tool and not sure what brand to go with, then you will never go too far wrong with a Stanley tool.

This one is what many people will use around their home. It feels light and pretty well balanced in your hand. The head has been very well tempered and as such will not chip or indeed, it will not burr or break. If you take good care of your hammer it should last a life time.

This one came out at number 2 on our top 5 list of claw hammers.  With that being the case, we are more than happy to recommend this one.

For less than £10, and with a very high 4.6 out of 5 star rating, it is very hard to go wrong with this one. The hammer is ergonomically-designed and ideal for light to medium nailing tasks
