DEWALT Mig Weld Hammer Review
The folks at DEWALT recently redesigned their mig weld hammer line. We took a look at the DEWALT 12 oz Mig Weld Hammer DWHT51135.
I’ve been using the 15 ounce framing hammer for over a year now and love it.
First Impression:
It’s really hard to believe that this lightweight and well balanced hammer has the striking force of a 20 ounce hammer. DEWALT figured out how to reduce the weight of each hammer compared to the original model while still maintaining their existing strike force.
The bright DEWALT yellow multi-layer grip help will no doubt reduce vibration and the grip and is super comfortable.
I was intrigued is I was going to reduce arm fatigue with this hammer so we took it to the job-site for further review. It really is a nicer swinging hammer than mostly everything I’ve used. The only exception would be my Stiletto which is way more expensive.
