Performance Tool W1137 Solid Brass Hammer 16 oz Fiberglass Handle

Description

Product Overview

The Performance Tool W1137 solid brass hammer is engineered for professionals who demand precision, durability, and safety in a single hand‑tool. At the heart of the hammer lies a 16 oz solid brass head, a material choice that eliminates magnetic interference and prevents sparking—critical for work around live electrical circuits. The head is machined to a flat style, providing a clean striking surface that minimizes marring on softer metals while delivering consistent impact energy.

Complementing the brass head is a 11‑inch fiberglass shaft, chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to warping under repeated stress. The shaft is finished in a vivid multi‑color coating, ensuring it stands out in cluttered work environments and reduces the chance of accidental drops. The shaft’s lightweight yet robust construction balances swing speed with control, allowing users to maintain a steady rhythm during extended use.

Ergonomics are addressed with a rubber‑filled grip that wraps around the handle, offering a non‑slip surface even when hands are sweaty or oily. The grip’s contour follows the natural shape of the hand, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy on repetitive strikes. The hammer’s overall weight of 7.2 ounces makes it light enough for precise tasks yet heavy enough to drive nails efficiently.

Every W1137 hammer ships in a durable vinyl pouch, protecting the tool during transport and providing a convenient storage solution on‑site. The pouch’s zip‑top design keeps dust out while allowing quick access. The product is identified by UPC 039564118654 and GTIN 00039564118654, ensuring authenticity and easy inventory management for retailers.

Designed for a wide range of applications—from electrical conduit installation to general carpentry—the W1137 delivers a blend of safety, performance, and comfort that meets the expectations of both seasoned tradespeople and serious hobbyists.

Usage

In residential electrical work, the non‑sparking brass head allows electricians to drive grounding rods, conduit clamps, and metal brackets without risking accidental arcs. The hammer’s balanced weight and ergonomic grip enable precise placement of fasteners in tight spaces, such as behind wall panels or within conduit runs. For automotive mechanics, the solid brass head provides a gentle yet effective striking surface for aligning chassis components, removing stubborn bolts, and tapping parts into place without damaging delicate surfaces.

DIY enthusiasts will find the W1137 equally valuable for home improvement projects. Whether hanging drywall, assembling furniture, or installing shelving, the bright shaft ensures the tool is easy to locate on a busy workbench. The rubber grip reduces hand strain during long sessions, making it suitable for weekend projects that require repetitive hammering.

Outdoor contractors benefit from the hammer’s weather‑resistant fiberglass construction, which does not absorb moisture and resists corrosion. The tool can be used on construction sites where exposure to rain, humidity, or dust is common, maintaining its performance and appearance over time.

Because the hammer is non‑magnetic, it is also safe for use around sensitive electronic equipment and in environments where magnetic interference could affect measurements or instrumentation. This makes it a preferred choice for laboratory technicians and precision assembly work.

FAQ

Is the brass head suitable for driving nails into hardwood?

Yes, the solid brass head is gentle enough to avoid excessive denting on hardwood while still delivering enough force to drive nails efficiently. Its flat striking surface distributes impact evenly, reducing the risk of splitting the wood.

Can I use this hammer for automotive body work?

The hammer’s non‑sparking brass head and rubber grip make it a good choice for light automotive body work, such as aligning panels or tapping rivets. For heavy‑duty metal shaping, a dedicated body hammer may be preferable.

What maintenance is recommended to keep the grip in good condition?

Periodically wipe the grip with a damp cloth to remove dust and oils. If the rubber begins to harden, a light application of a rubber conditioner can restore flexibility. Store the hammer in the supplied pouch to protect the grip from direct sunlight.

Is the hammer covered by a warranty?

Performance Tool provides a 90‑day satisfaction guarantee. If the hammer shows any manufacturing defects within this period, we will replace or refund the product at no additional cost to the customer.

Will the vinyl pouch fit other hand tools?

The pouch is sized specifically for the W1137 hammer, but its flexible material can accommodate similarly sized tools such as small pry bars or screwdriver sets, making it a versatile storage option.
