Vaughan New Fiberglass Framing Hammer "Handles Curves Nicely"
HEBRON, IL - Meeting the demands of professional carpenters who prefer the comfort and balance of a curved handle, Vaughan & Bushnell is adding a curved fiberglass hammer to its line of Blue Max™ California Framers®.
Vaughan says these pros will want to "test drive" this new curved design of its 21-ounce fiberglass handle Blue Max™ because it allows a more natural alignment of the wrist and forearm to minimize fatigue and long term risk of arm injury. Sting is further reduced with a shock-absorbing hollow core handle.
All Blue Max™ Hammers feature Vaughan's exclusive Head-Start ™ magnetic nail-holding notch for increased reach and one-handed nail starting.
For greater accuracy the new Blue Max™ provides an extra large, milled striking face and a high impact overstrike guard for increased handle protection.
With the new curved, fiberglass model, Vaughan's high-performance Blue Max™ series now offers 11 framing hammers in hickory, solid steel or fiberglass with options in all categories for straight or curved handles. They range in length from 16 to 18-inches and head weights from 19 to 23 oz.
Vaughan's Blue Max™ Framing Hammers are available at hardware stores, home centers and building supply outlets nationwide. For more information contact: Vaughan & Bushnell Manufacturing Company, P.O. Box 390, Hebron, IL 60034-0390 or visit them on the Internet at www.vaughanmfg.com or at www.hammernet.com.
