Blacksmith Hammer 2 1/2 lb 14 in
The Westward 2DBV2 is a blacksmith hammer built for heavy striking tasks. It has a 2 1/2 lb medium carbon steel head and a 14 in hickory handle. The head width measures 1 9/16 in. This tool is made for metal shaping and driving applications.
Suited for forge and demolition work
This hammer suits blacksmiths and tradespeople who need a heavy striking tool for hot or cold metal. The hickory handle provides strength and shock absorption during repeated blows. It is not for precision carpentry, finish work, or tasks requiring a lighter head. Buyers who want a claw for nail pulling should look at a different tool type.
2 1/2 lb head weight
The 2 1/2 lb head weight is the primary factor in deciding if this hammer matches the job. Heavier heads deliver more force per swing but increase user fatigue over long periods. The 14 in handle length works with this weight to balance control and momentum. Select this weight when the work demands substantial impact energy.

Questions about this item
What head weight does the 2 1/2 lb blacksmith hammer deliver?
The head weighs 2 1/2 lb, providing the mass needed for heavy striking and forging tasks.
How long is the hickory handle on the 14 in overall hammer?
The overall length is 14 in, giving a handle long enough for two-handed control while staying compact for tight workspaces.
How do you seat the head on the hickory handle so it will not loosen?
Drive the wooden wedge fully into the kerf, then add the steel wedge crosswise; skipping the steel wedge is the step that lets the head work loose.
