Stylish yet sturdy, these hammers will surely inspire you to step up your toolbox game in no time. A collaboration between BCX and Hardcore Hammers, these aptly named Base Camp X Hardcore Hammers feature 18-inch Tennessee hickory handles, a 19-ounce head and a [straightened claw](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt-provoke-x) for added leverage when dealing with situations like pesky bent nails.
