Fuel Hammer
Description
Our high-performance, all-around mixed tool built for the modern winter climber, the Fuel Hammer features a redesigned head that includes a hammer for added swing weight and pounding pins in the alpine.
Combining the aggressive ice and mixed performance of the original Fuel with a redesigned head, the Fuel Hammer offers additional swing weight and pin-pounding performance in alpine terrain. The streamlined, hydroformed shaft extends all the way through the grip for responsive feel and rigidity, and the adjustable pommel allows for fine-tuning the fit to suit your hand size and glove choice. The clippable spike is easily removable for days at the crag.
- Lightweight shaft hydroformed from single piece of aluminum that extends through the grip for responsive feel and rigidity
- One-piece hammer head for increased swing weight and pounding pins
- Dual-density adjustable pommel features spacing washers to accommodate different glove and hand sizes
- Offset upper grip for modern leashless climbing
- Removable clippable spike

CertificationCertificationsThe main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries. To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process. Learn MoreRock and Ice Certifications Guide |

This purpose built mixed tool can still climb ice acceptably and is well suited for the aspiring and experienced modern winter climber who wants to spend significant time on rock. The simple and consistent pick mounting system and modular handle means that each climber has the opportunity to experiment and fine tune what they prefer individually as well. As a motivated weekend warrior, the Fuel Hammer has earned a place in my gear closest and will make an appearance on my pack any day ice is not the only thing on the menu.
