A hand tool comprising a head portion, a shaft, and a grip component is provided. The grip component and the shaft form a handle of the hand tool. The grip component is a reverse-molded component formed by: forming the external portion of the grip component by molding a first thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material or thermoplastic urethane (TPU) material into a shell that surrounds a first cavity; after forming the external portion; placing the shaft into the first cavity; and, after the external portion is formed and the shaft is placed into the first cavity, forming the inner portion of the grip component by injecting a second TPE material or TPU material into the first cavity and onto the shaft. The first TPE or TPU material has a first level of hardness, and the second TPE or TPU material has a second level of hardness lower than the first level.

A hammer has a claw assembly that is linearly moveable relative to the head of the hammer so as to improve leverage and range of prying for nail removal. A locking mechanism secures the claw assembly in a position. The locking mechanism may be automatic or manual, and may comprise a ratcheting mechanism with a pawl and rack, or a clamping mechanism with a deflectable sleeve and engaged bar, or a biased pin lock mechanism.

A tool, such as a hammer, including a surface to strike objects, such as nails, and a mechanism to facilitate the removal of objects, such as staples that have been inserted into wood. In one embodiment the mechanism includes a recess in the hammerhead body and a projection that extends above the recess.

The present invention is an improved framing hammer. In one embodiment, the improved framing hammer has two opposing heads. One head being flat and the other head being waffle faced. Each head has a slot running horizontally that is able to hold a nail by a magnet in the slot. The slot further acts as a fulcrum point. On opposite sides of the head, there is a mini-claw and on the other side is a v-slotted extractor mounted to the cheek.

The hammer has a head and a handle which extends from the head. The head has at least two surfaces that face towards the handle and that lie in a common first plane. At least a portion of the handle extends linearly and perpendicularly from the first plane to allow a user to draw a straight line which is perpendicular to the first plane.

A palmar grip is provided that improves the comfort of the user and is easy to install. A body of the palmar grip contacts a surface of the handle and is wrapped around a portion of the handle to circumscribe it. A wing is attached over two free ends of the body to close the body between those free ends and fasten the body around the handle. The wing provides a palm rest for a user when gripping the handle.

A multipurpose floor demolition tool enables removing, scraping, manipulating, and replacing a floor and floor covering and components without having to bend down, and with a lesser application of force. The tool provides a plate that is sufficiently flat, and has a straight scraping edge for scraping, flipping over, and prying floor components. The plate forms a central aperture for prying a nail from the floor. The plate has a first curvilinear edge defined by a claw for tearing and prying floor components. The plate has a second edge defined by a tab for prying floor components. A portion of the first and second edges are perpendicular to the straight scraping edge, such that the first and second edges simultaneously engage a floor. A handle joins with the straight mounting edge to enable manipulation of the plate and provide leverage for prying and scraping floor components with the plate.
