The hammers also include a Tri-Pull feature for removing framing nails, finish nails, and staples.

A total of six tools are part of the Extended Performance XP Hammers. In addition to the 16oz. and 20oz. General Purpose Hammers and the 22oz. Framing Hammer, the XP line also includes the 18oz. Wood Framing Hammer (DWHT51383) that feature carbon fiber composite overstrike protection for 25% added durability to help prevent handle breakage**. The current 12oz. and 14oz.
