Review on Southwire BMEH 18 Electricians Hammer 🔨 Remover: Ultimate Tool for Efficient Electrical Work by Emmanuel Chouinard

In the past month I ransacked two houses with a hammer. This is where the "electrician's hammer" should shine. However, I've already given it up in favor of a simpler 16oz hammer and am much happier. Perhaps the most important feature of the hammer is the staple remover. At best, it works "well". Staples that are firmly driven into Romex will not be removed. It can be difficult to get it under the clamp without damaging the wire's outer coating. It's nice when it works, but since it doesn't always get the job done, it's best to keep a few diagonals in your back pocket for the task. The most annoying downside to this claw design is that nails are incredibly difficult to remove, which is sometimes a necessary feature. for rough work in a residential building. In fact, using a hammer when driving staples is inconvenient because the head protrudes too far from the handle. The hammer also weighs 18 ounces. This makes it heavier and more unbalanced than a 16-ounce hammer, which has more than enough power to drive in staples without adding weight. The design of the hammer is small. A glue line is visible where the hammer head meets the shaft and the soft rubber grip is easily damaged. There is no way I would choose this hammer over any of the tried and true effective cadaver hammers. He accomplishes his intended task, but fails. I would not buy this hammer again. Have Southwire make the wire.
