It’s designed for tradespeople and serious DIYers who need a reliable tool for everyday brickwork and light demolition tasks. Key features\n- Hammer head: Forged, hardened and tempered to withstand regular striking and resist deformation during masonry work.\n- Handle: Hickory, with a grip manufactured to British Standard measurements, delivering a thicker, more comfortable grip when striking.\n- Pattern: Traditional club hammer profile, suited for driving chisels, tapping bricks and blocks, and breaking small quantities of mortar. Use cases\nCommonly used on site for brick and block work, the Footprint 116 is well matched to tasks such as driving masonry chisels, positioning bricks or blocks, tapping blocks true, and working mortar joints. The traditional head shape paired with the roomy grip helps deliver controlled blows with a natural wrist motion, making routine masonry tasks more efficient.

The British Standard grip specification is designed to offer a consistent, comfortable grip across the tool’s life, reducing hand fatigue during repeated impacts. This makes it a practical choice for bricklayers, tilers and plasterers who rely on a dependable hammer for daily use. Practical notes\n- Maintenance: Wipe the head to remove dust after use and store in a dry area. Regularly inspect the handle for any cracks or signs of splintering; replace the tool if damage is detected to maintain safety.\n- Handling tips: Use a controlled, straight swing and let the hammer head do the work. A properly gripped handle helps minimise slips and improves accuracy when striking chisels or hitting mortar joints.\n- Ideal for: On-site brickwork, mortar work, light demolition tasks and general hammering where a traditional pattern and a firm grip are beneficial. This Footprint club hammer offers a straightforward, task-focused option for masonry and DIY projects, with a durable head and a British Standard grip that supports steady, confident striking.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Footprint","offers":[{"title":"1.13kg (2.1\/2 lb)","offer_id":55586893529467,"sku":"FOO116212","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.8kg (4 lb)","offer_id":55744966525307,"sku":"FOO1164","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/8620\/5372\/files\/Hickory-Handle-Club-Hammers-2.jpg?v=1775235631"},{"product_id":"footprint-112-sledge-hammer-fibreglass-handle","title":"Footprint 112 Mini Sledge Hammer - Fibreglass Handle","description":"\u003cp\u003eFootprint Fibreglass handle 4lb Sledge Hammer has thick grip for superior comfort.
