Description
Hang and trim drywall in one tool with the OX Pro 14oz Drywall Hammer. The hatchet-style head pairs a milled striking face for setting gypsum nails without slipping with a sharpened hatchet edge for trimming sheetrock to fit — the dedicated tool drywall hangers reach for instead of carrying a claw hammer plus a utility knife.
Model: OX-P082614 · Head Weight: 14 oz · Vendor: OX
Why a Drywall Hammer?
- Milled striking face: the cross-hatched face grips nail heads — you can set drywall nails dimpled below the paper without bending or skating across the face like a smooth claw hammer would
- Hatchet edge: sharpened opposite face cuts sheetrock to fit, scores edges for snapping, and breaks loose old drywall during demo
- 14oz head: the standard weight for production drywall hanging — light enough to swing all day, heavy enough to set nails in two strikes
- OX Pro construction: drop-forged head, fiberglass shock-absorbing handle — built for daily-use drywall crews, not the weekend remodel
- Backed by OX: manufacturer warranty per OX Tools’ standard policy
Best For
- Drywall hanging: setting nails on standard 1/2″ and 5/8″ gypsum board panels — the milled face dimples without tearing the paper
- Sheetrock trimming: field-cutting full sheets to width, scoring inside corners, breaking off oversize pieces
- Drywall demolition: hatchet edge bites through paper and scores the gypsum core for clean tear-out
- Patch work: the milled face is forgiving on small repair pieces where a smooth claw hammer would slip
- Drywall crews on production work: hangers, finishers, and remodel pros who need both functions in one tool

Care & Use
- Inspect the hatchet edge between jobs — redress with a fine file if it dulls, but don’t grind — aggressive grinding overheats the steel and ruins the temper
- Wear safety glasses with side shields — gypsum dust and the occasional flying nail head are real eye hazards on drywall demo
- Keep the milled face clean — embedded paint chips and gypsum dust hurt nail-grip; wire-brush periodically
- Store with the hatchet edge covered — the cutting edge is sharp enough to cut hands or other tools in the bag
- Inspect the handle-to-head joint at the start of each season — replace if the head is loose, not retighten
