Amazon.com The Stanley Jacketed Graphite Ball Pein Hammer features a heat-treated, high-carbon steel head for superior strength and durability. A rim-tempered process around the hammer's striking face minimizes chipping from off-center strikes; for further safety, the head is affixed to the handle with a patented assembly method for a permanent fit. The handle, constructed from graphite, features a molded jacket for maximum overstrike protection, as well as a cushioned, ergonomic grip for comfort and to absorb shock; its ribbed channels allow air to ventilate and cool the hand. The hammer's flared end provides greater control and reduces slippage. It is 16 inches long and weighs 32 ounces. From the Manufacturer The Stanley Works, originally a bolt and door hardware manufacturing company located in New Britain, Connecticut; was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley. A few years later, in 1857, Fredericks cousin, Henry Stanley, founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with The Stanley Works and would go on to become its famous Hand Tools Division. Over the years, The Stanley Works has produced some of the most innovative and useful tools ever made. Among these tools are the Bailey Plane, the Surform shaper, the PowerLock tape rule and most recently the FatMax line of products. Today, more than ever, Stanley continues to be an industry leader in tool innovation. In 2001, Stanley introduced more than 100 new products, bringing to 400 the number of new products introduced in the past four years. As a direct result of Stanleys commitment to excellence, Stanley was awarded the Prestigious Golden Hammer Award, presented for New Product Innovation in both 2000 and 2001.
