The Vaughan CF2P California Framer Hammer is a 19-ounce smooth-face framer with a magnetic nail-starter slot and the long-pattern California claw that earned the brand its working-carpenter reputation on the West Coast tract-housing booms of the 1960s. The smooth face works finish and trim nails without leaving the strike dimple a milled head produces.
Use it for finish framing where strike marks matter, deck rail and hand-rail work, hanging cabinets, sheathing where the 19-ounce head moves nails faster than a 16, and any framing-pattern swing where a smooth face is the right call for the material. The magnetic nail starter holds a sinker for one-hand starts on overhead and ladder work.
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 CF2P carries Vaughan’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
