The Hammer Fist confounded us at first. It had us asking, “What is it?” when a more appropriate question would be, “What isn’t<\/em> it?” This tool describes itself as a multi-use tool. It aims to provide the functions of a variety of different tools a Pro might use\u2014instead, combining them all into one compact package.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Hammer Fist has three separate stainless-steel strike plates and a non-marring mallet side, giving it its “hammer” nomenclature. There’s a front strike plate, a 45\u00b0 strike plate, and a main strike plate that lets you hammer in nails using the method of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis tool also features a dual nail puller that removes nails no matter how you hold the tool. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nA 1\/4-inch hex slot lets you use a hex bit and allows for more uses from nut drivers to screw heads. Additionally, the Hammer Fist includes a 90\u00b0 square template for easy squaring, as well as integrated SAE\/metric rulers for quick measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To top it all off, when you’re done working in your workshop or garage, you can crack open a cold one with the tool’s bottle opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Brightly colored for easy location<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lanyard attachment point<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Patent-pending design<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Compact design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Using the Hammer Fist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We didn’t so much test the Hammer Fist as we used it in a variety of hammering and pulling applications. For one, we tried our hand at hammering all manner of nails with the tool. After working our way from finish nails and roofing nails to 2-1\/4″ 12D nails, we convinced ourselves it could get the job done\u2014albeit with less efficiency than a standard framing hammer. We used the main strike plate on these tests. Just be sure not to miss! The other surfaces (including the non-marring plastic end) work well for striking other objects you need to budge\u2014but not for nailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Would you use this in place of a hammer\u2014not if you had a choice, but sometimes you don’t. In a cramped space, this tool gives you an option for driving a nail where you otherwise couldn’t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also liked the nail puller, finding it easy to use and intuitive. The dual-sided puller also helps when you need to start a nail and then gain more space to leverage out something longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the markings and 90-degree square feature look like something a DIYer might find useful in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This fun homeowner-level tool retails for $19.97 and you can find it at The Home Depot. To learn more, you can visit the Hammer Fist website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
