Vaughan CF2 19-Ounce California Framer Hammer – Milled Face, Straight Hickory Handle, 16-Inch Length

About This Product

If you're a framer, remodeler, or serious DIYer who drives a lot of nails, the Vaughan California Framer is the kind of hammer that feels like an extension of your arm.

It's a 19-ounce head on a 16-inch straight white hickory handle – that classic combination that's been proven on job sites for decades.
The milled face grips nail heads firmly, so you're not slipping off and bending nails or smashing your fingers.
The smooth swept claws are borrowed from Vaughan's 999 rip hammer design, so they pull nails cleanly without gouging the wood.

The striking face is extra large, inspired by their rigbuilder's hatchet, so you get more surface contact and better power transfer.

The triple-zone heat treating means the face is hardened for impact, the claw is tough for pulling, and the eye is tempered for strength.

The balance is computer-designed to reduce fatigue – you can swing this thing all day and not feel like your arm's going to fall off.
The handle is triple-wedged, so the head isn't going anywhere.

This is a professional-grade tool that's built to last through years of rough use.
It's the hammer you'll grab for framing, demolition, or any heavy nailing task.

The hickory handle is straight, which some framers prefer because it gives you a natural swing arc and better control for toe-nailing.
The wood is white hickory – dense and shock-absorbing.

The head is fully polished, so it sheds rust and looks sharp.
The milled face pattern is aggressive enough to hold the nail but won't chew up the wood around it.
The claw is long and curved just right for prying.

This hammer has a proven, no-nonsense design that hasn't changed much in years because it works.

It's the kind of tool that becomes a lifelong companion if you take care of it.
Whether you're building a house or just framing a basement, this hammer delivers the performance and durability you need.
It's a classic for a reason.
