Gray Tools 17A Tinners Hammer 16 oz 13 in

Purpose and user

The Gray Tools 17A is a 16 oz tinners hammer built for sheet-metal work and general striking tasks. Its 13 in overall length gives enough reach for bench use while remaining manageable in tight spaces. It suits tradespeople and hobbyists who need a dedicated tinners hammer rather than a general-purpose claw hammer.

Proposition 65 notice

California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product for chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Buyers who require tools without such warnings should consider alternatives. The notice is a regulatory disclosure and does not describe a functional limitation of the hammer itself.

Deciding specification

The 16 oz head weight is the single figure that determines whether this hammer matches the job. Lighter heads reduce fatigue for repetitive forming but deliver less force per blow. Heavier heads drive rivets and shape thicker stock more efficiently but increase arm strain over long sessions.
