Product Description
Taparia Claw Hammer with Handle, 340 gms is a mid-weight claw hammer suited to general carpentry, furniture assembly, and household repair — light enough for controlled, repeated use, with enough head weight to drive standard nails without excess effort.
The head is drop-forged from high-grade steel and differentially heat treated, with the striking face partially hardened to 46–58 HRC — hard enough at the point of impact to resist mushrooming, while the rest of the head stays tough enough to absorb shock. The claw end is shaped for straightforward nail extraction. Paired with a 350mm handle, it gives a comfortable swing arc for both driving and pulling nails.

FAQs
1) Is 340 gms a good weight for general household use?
Yes — 340g is a common mid-weight choice, giving enough driving force for standard nails while staying light enough for extended, controlled use without fatigue. Taparia also offers a heavier 450g claw hammer for larger nails or tougher jobs.
2) What's the handle made of?
The handle is designed for a secure, comfortable grip through repeated swings; check the product listing/packaging for the exact handle material variant (wood or fibre-composite) supplied with your unit.
3) Can this hammer be used to remove nails, not just drive them?
Yes, the claw end is shaped specifically for prying out nails — position the claw under the nail head and lever back against the handle.
4) How does this compare to the 450 gms claw hammer?
The 340g version is lighter and easier to control for precision work and lighter nails. The 450g version delivers more driving force per swing, better suited to larger nails or denser timber.
