The Vaughan CF21FGP California Framer Hammer is a 21-ounce milled-face framer with a magnetic nail starter and a fiberglass handle, splitting the difference between the 19-ounce CF2 and the 24-ounce California-pattern frames the West Coast carpentry trade has run for decades. The milled face bites into nail heads to prevent strike slip-off on a long framing day.
Use it as the everyday wood-framing hammer where the 21-ounce head moves spikes faster than a 19 without the wrist fatigue of jumping straight to a 24, sheathing work, deck framing, and any production framing where bite-and-drive matters more than a clean cosmetic strike. The fiberglass handle resists rot and won’t loosen at the head joint through years of weather cycling.
Vaughan & Bushnell has been forging hammers in Hebron, Illinois since 1869 and remains the largest American striking-tool manufacturer still operating in the United States. The CF21FGP carries Vaughan’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
