Klein Tools 808-16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the Klein Tools 808-16 hammer, and will it swing in a tight electrical panel or between studs?
Overall length on the 808-16 is 13 inches (33 cm), which is a short-handled swing compared with a framing hammer. That length plus the straight claw is what makes it workable in a panel, a ceiling cavity, or between studs where you cannot get a full arc. The straight claw also lets you pull nails in tight quarters where a curved claw has no room to roll.
2) Is a 16 oz straight-claw hammer heavy enough for an electrician's daily work, or should I buy a heavier framing hammer?
Head weight on the 808-16 is 16 oz (454 g), which is the standard general-purpose weight for electrical and MRO work: driving staples and straps, setting box nails, tapping knockouts, and light demo. If your crew is nailing framing lumber all day, that is a heavier framing hammer's job. For a truck or an MRO cart where one hammer covers everything, 16 oz is the weight most trades carry.
3) Does the Klein 808-16 have a wood handle or fiberglass?
Fiberglass. The 808-16 uses a high-strength fiberglass shaft, which absorbs shock and keeps the head tight rather than loosening the way a wood handle does as it dries. Handle color is black with a perforated neoprene grip bonded on, so there is no slip-on rubber sleeve to work loose.
4) What happens if I overstrike and hit the handle just below the head?
The neck of the 808-16 carries a durable plastic-alloy jacket specifically to protect it from fraying and splintering on a mis-hit or overstrike. That is the failure point that kills most fiberglass hammers, and it is why this one survives work where you are swinging into a joist bay or overhead and cannot always see the strike.
5) Is the Klein 808-16 hammer made in the USA?
Yes, the 808-16 is made in the USA. That matters if you are buying against a government, institutional, or public-works spec that carries a domestic-sourcing requirement on hand tools.
6) How much does the Klein 808-16 hammer weigh in total with the handle?
Total weight is 1.85 lbs for the complete tool, against a 16 oz (454 g) head. The extra is the fiberglass shaft and grip. If you are speccing a tool pouch or a standardized kit across a crew, that is the number to budget, not the head weight.
7) If I order the Klein straight-claw hammer, what model number do I put on the PO?
Order it as Klein Tools 808-16. That is the manufacturer part number and it is the only configuration, 16-ounce straight claw with the fiberglass handle. There are no finish, length, or handle options to specify.
