DEWALT expands its line of hammers with 14 new tools, highlighted by the XP Extended Performance series that offers durability and features including More Swing, Less Sting vibration dampening technology, easy-to-grip handles, and side nail pullers. With a comprehensive line of hammers, DEWALT offers solutions for framing, finishing, and specialty use including demoing and forestry, including the 22 oz. 1 pc.

The hammers also include a Tri-Pull feature for removing framing nails, finish nails, and staples.
A total of six tools are part of the Extended Performance XP Hammers. In addition to the 16oz. and 20oz. General Purpose Hammers and the 22oz. Framing Hammer, the XP line also includes the 18oz.
