Product Description
Milwaukee 20 oz. Smooth Face Rip Claw Hammer
Model Number: 48-22-9020
The Milwaukee 48-22-9020 is a 20 oz. Smooth Face Rip Claw Hammer — a professional finish and general-purpose framing hammer with a smooth striking face and straight rip claw for the full range of driving, pulling, and prying tasks in residential and commercial construction. The 20 oz. head weight is the classic all-purpose framing weight — substantial enough for productive nail driving on framing lumber without the arm fatigue that heavier 28 oz. and 32 oz. framing hammers generate during sustained driving over a full shift, and heavy enough for the structural fastening that finish work and rough framing both require. The smooth face produces cleaner strikes without the marring that milled-face hammers leave on finish surfaces and visible framing members where appearance matters — making the smooth face the appropriate choice for finish carpentry, trim installation, and the work where the lumber surface at the strike point will be visible in the finished installation.
The rip claw's straighter profile provides more prying leverage than curved finish claws when pulling embedded nails, opening crates, removing deck boards, and the demolition and reuse applications where the straight lever geometry between the claw and the handle provides more mechanical advantage than curved designs. Milwaukee builds the 20 oz. hammer for the daily driving cycles of professional construction work — the head-to-handle connection, handle material, and strike face hardness must all maintain their performance specification through thousands of driving cycles without loosening, cracking, or face deformation.
