The roughneck slaters hammer is a specialist tool designed for roofing professionals working with slates and tiles. This versatile hammer features three functional elements: a pointed pick for making holes in slates, a centrally-positioned claw for pulling nails, and a rectangular striking head for tile fixing. Built for durability and daily site use, this slaters hammer features one-piece steel construction with the head and shaft formed as a single unit. This design eliminates the risk of loose or separated heads that can occur with traditional wooden-handled hammers. The 454g 16oz head weight provides effective striking force while remaining manageable for extended overhead work. The steel shaft is fitted with a comfortable non-slip rubber grip, ensuring secure handling even in wet or cold conditions typical of roofing work. This combination of purpose-built features makes it an essential addition to any roofer's toolkit for both slate installation and repair work.
