Are there (claw) hammers that are specially designed for people with
small hands? I've been using my uncles hammers and they are way too big
for me to work with. I can barely wrap my hands around the grip or even
in the middle of the hammer and they feel like they weigh a ton when
I'm trying to hammer nails. I feel like if I had a smaller hammer that
actually fit my hand and weighed 16 oz (or less) instead of 22 oz then
maybe it would make things easier. But I can't seem to find any small
hammers anywhere. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong stores or something.

Do smaller sized hammers exist? Am I going to have to look somewhere
special for them?


Claw hammerheads are made in almost every weight
immagineable, most, are less than 16 ounces and
run all the way down to 2-3 ounces. BTW 22 oz
heads are meant for framing not general carpentry.
More importantly, you can buy all types of
handles, or simply modify the shape and size of an
original handle to fit--carve it, file it, sand
it, grind it.
