Face Hammer Hickory Handle
Why are certain hammers cheaper ($5 range) than others ($15-50 range)?

I'm doing a project for my manufacturing engineering class and we're comparing 2 different hammers.
1. We think it's steel casted hammer and has a wood handle (we think it's white oak, but a lot of sites say hickory).
2. High carbon steel hammer, graphite handle

Questions - We can't seem to use our Rockwell tester to get the hardness for each of the following surfaces - face, eye, and claw..does anyone know which is the hardest -> least hardest? I would think that the face would be the hardest, but then again, if it's too hard, it might chip.
How would we know if it's steel casted vs high carbon steel?

Thanks for the help! Any info would be great, even if I didn't address it above! :-D

The face of a good quality hammer should be the hardest. A high quality hammer should be drop forged (not cast) and the face should be specially treated to make it extra hard so it does not get damaged hitting nails repeatedly. This face treatment costs more to do.
Oak is brittle and has open pores. It is a poor choice for a wood handle. Hickory is flexible and strong and is common for handles.
Wood handles can be sloppily fit quickly, including using a press to push the handle into place. Graphite and fiberglass handles require a mold to take the hammer head and time to set. Time is money in manufacturing. Graphite is even trickier and I believe it requires baking, although that may be just carbon fiber.
If your tester won't measure the side or claw then it needs work.

Thanks for looking at our Face Hammer Hickory Handle information.
