Stanley 51-716 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between a rip claw hammer like the Stanley 51-716 and a curved claw hammer?
The 51-716 has a straight (rip) claw rather than a curved one. A straight claw is made for driving between nailed boards, splitting framing apart and prying during tear-out, so you often don't need a separate bar for small demolition. A curved claw gives better leverage for pulling nails out of finished work without marring it. If you spend more time on framing and demo than on trim, the rip claw is the one to have.
2) Will the head come loose on a wood handle hammer?
The 51-716 uses a double-wedge head-to-handle connection, which drives wedges into the hickory to expand it inside the eye of the forged head and keep it seated. It is the traditional method and it holds well, but any wood-handle hammer can dry out and loosen over time. Fiberglass or one-piece steel hammers avoid that failure mode entirely; buyers who want a wood feel and the option to rehandle later choose hickory like this one.
3) What does a bell face on a hammer do, and is this one smooth or waffle?
The 51-716 has a rim-tempered, polished bell face. Polished means it is a smooth face, not a milled waffle pattern, so it won't leave grid marks on the work surface, which matters on any nail that stays visible. The bell shape (slightly crowned with a relieved rim) lets you drive a nail flush without denting the wood around it, and rim tempering hardens that edge against chipping.
4) How long is the Stanley 51-716 hammer overall?
Overall length is 13-1/4 in., measured head to handle end. That is a standard-length wood-handle hammer, so it swings and stores like the one it is replacing and fits a normal hammer loop on a tool belt.
