Abstract
The novel hammer of the invention is a hammer having a reinforced handle, wherein the handle includes a grip and an integrally attached striking cap at least partially embedded in the grip. The striking cap is of a material harder than the grip, and provides the hammer with a striking surface at the butt end of the handle. The striking cap may further have at least one rib or groove, which serve to more strongly affix the striking cap to the hammer. The invention also includes a reinforced grip, and a method of manufacture of the hammer of the invention.
