The Hammer EVERYONE is Talking About: Boss Hammer

What happens here

For laying out plates for framing members, the hammer's 90-degree mark can be used to establish the first line. A high casting line on the hammer indicates 1.5 inches, which is the standard width of dimensional lumber used for framing. Users can mark one side, slide the hammer over, and mark the other side, quickly creating a 'stud pocket' on the plate. This feature streamlines the process of marking multiple stud locations.

Goal: Demonstrate efficient marking of framing plates and stud pockets
