The new DeWalt XP Hammer series focuses on “More Swing, Less Sting” vibration dampening designs. According to DeWalt, the XP series gets its advantage from the grip, reducing vibration by 35% while improving the durability of the material by 25%.
The shaft design helps out as well with a geometry that dissipates vibration better than standard designs. The combination promises to reduce overall fatigue during hammering tasks and make your hammer last longer.

DeWalt XP 22-Ounce Steel Hammer: A 2018 Pro Tool Innovation Award Winner
Here’s what our judging team has to say about the XP’s award-winning 22-ounce steel model:
“One-piece steel framing hammers offer an outstanding combination of durability and cost-effectiveness. However, they are not the most comfortable hammers to use since steel is so good at transferring vibration. We love that the new DeWalt framing hammer optimized the design to reduce how much of that strike force gets back to your arm.”
