help Klein Tools 55400 Fiberglass Hammer FAQ
Is Klein Tools 55400 really a fiberglass hammer?
No. Klein's 55400 is the Tradesman Pro Suspenders, while the 16-ounce fiberglass straight-claw hammer matching the description is model H80816, so the catalog entry appears to combine two products.
What does the actual Klein Tools 55400 do?
The 55400 suspenders distribute the weight of a tool bag across the shoulders and use adjustable straps, Cordura fabric, and padded sections. Klein lists an adjustable range of about 36 to 48 inches and warns that they are not fall-arrest equipment or back support.
What are the specifications of the Klein fiberglass hammer described here?
The matching H80816 hammer has a 16-ounce forged-steel head, a straight claw, a smooth face, and a fiberglass handle. Klein lists the overall length at about 13 inches and includes a tether hole for hanging.
Does a fiberglass hammer handle make the Klein hammer safe near live electricity?
No, fiberglass can help absorb shock but the H80816 is not an insulated electrical tool. Klein specifically warns not to use it on or near live electrical circuits and recommends approved eye protection.
