The Roughneck® Roofing Slaters Hammer offers increased striking power and reduced vibration Roughneck® Gorilla V-Series slater's hammers are manufactured from drop forged hardened and tempered steel. The unique V-Shock twin beam girder shaft acts as a damper resulting in reduced shock and vibration transmission and further controlled by an air cushioned grip. Reduced weight in the shaft transfers the centre of gravity towards the head resulting in improved balance and reduced effort. The pick end enables holes to be punched in slates and an integrated nail puller allows nails to be removed with ease. A lanyard hole in the base of the handle allows for safe and secure tethering when working at height.
