The Bahco XMS26HAMMER is an everyday curved claw hammer for driving and removing nails in timber. Its polished steel head uses a round striking face for controlled nailing, while the curved V-shaped claw slides under nail heads for levering and removal.

Best For Everyday Nailing and Repairs

Why Choose the Bahco 428

The 567g (20oz) size suits general nailing work, while the fibreglass shaft helps absorb shock from repeated strikes. A black comfort grip supports secure handling, and the bright orange shaft makes the hammer easier to find in a busy toolbox.

Key Benefits

• Curved claw: Designed for levering and removing nails from timber.
• Polished steel head: Provides a durable striking surface for everyday use.
• Round face: Supports controlled nail driving.
• Octagonal neck: Forms part of the Bahco 428 head design.
• Fibreglass shaft: Helps absorb shock from each strike.
• Black comfort grip: Designed to stay secure in the hand.
• Orange shaft: Makes the hammer easier to spot among other tools.

How To Drive a Nail

• Rest the workpiece on a stable surface so it cannot move.
• Hold the handle near the end when making full swings.
• Keep your grip firm but relaxed and swing from the elbow and shoulder.
• Keep the round face parallel to the surface and strike the centre of the nail head.
• Continue with controlled strikes until the nail head sits at the required level.

Using the Curved Claw

Slide the claw under the nail head and lever the handle back in a controlled movement. On finished timber, placing a thin scrap of wood beneath the hammer head can help spread the pressure and reduce surface marking.

Inspection and Care

Check the shaft, grip, head and claw before use. Stop using the hammer if the handle is cracked or badly damaged, the head becomes loose or the claw is bent.
