The Vaughan R16 Steel Eagle Curved Claw Hammer is a 16-ounce all-steel single-piece hammer with a smooth face and a curved claw for nail pulling. The forged single-piece steel construction eliminates the head-to-handle joint that ultimately fails on every wood and composite handle, and Vaughan’s Shock Block grip absorbs the strike vibration that an all-steel hammer would otherwise transmit straight to the wrist.
Use it as the daily homeowner and tradesman 16-ounce hammer, for nail pulling where the curved claw delivers more leverage than a rip, for finish work where the smooth face won’t dimple visible material, and for the everyday driving the bag-hammer does between framing days. The single-piece body holds true alignment forever and won’t loosen at any joint.
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 R16 carries Vaughan’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
