These Malleable Iron hammers is where The Hammer Source originated. Malleable hammers were designed by the Cadillac V-8 plant in Cadillac, MI in the 1930's. The company later out-sourced production. The Wolverine Company made and sold these until The Hammer Source bought the business in 1999.
The Hammer Source makes 5 sizes of Malleable Iron Hammers - 1,2,3,4 and 5 lb. Each size is made with tough Nupla fiberglass handles that are epoxied to the head. Nupla fiberglass handles have a notched rubber grip, a straight grip or fiberglass handle with molded polygrip.
The Hammer Source uses solid hickory wood handles on 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 lb. hammers for lighter duty jobs. The hickory handles are steel wedged at the top of the handle to hold the heads on tight.
The Hammer Source Malleable Iron Hammers are Made in the USA by The HammerMan.
