Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Magnetic hammers are a roofing staple because they let you set shingle nails without holding your hand under the strike, and the 16 oz. head drives fasteners in one or two hits in most sheathing. The double magnetic version speeds up repetitive nailing on layouts. For heavy framing, most crews move up to a heavier framing hammer or a nailer, but for shingles, flashing and trim work a 16 oz. magnetic claw is hard to beat.
Inspect the handle for cracks before each use and keep the striking face clean of debris to prevent glancing blows.
