A DUBLIN DIY store owner has defended labelling a tool a “women’s hammer” because it’s lighter and smaller.
The Herald discovered the nickname for the 8oz lightweight claw hammer when browsing the aisles of a hardware store in the capital.
A salesman at Expert Hardware in Killester said the hammer, which is much lighter than the other 16 to 20oz hammers available, had been ordered in especially to suit female customers.
