C.S. Osborne No. 277½ Solid-Head Upholstery Ripping Hammer
When to choose it
Choose the 277½ for stripping an old upholstered covering where a solid, double-edged head suits the approach. The two edges sit at right angles. Compare the direction you can move the tool against the place where the old fabric still attaches to the frame.
The head measures five inches across and the complete tool is 10¼ inches long. For isolated fasteners around trim, compare a narrower lifter that can work under one head or crown at a time. For driving new tacks, choose a tack hammer with a face intended for that work.

Questions about this product
What does the right-angle edge arrangement change?
It gives you two different directions of approach with the head. Check how each can reach the old cover.
Does it replace a narrow tack lifter?
Compare a narrow claw for a single tack head in a confined place. The 277½ is designed for stripping old upholstery.
Which hammer should I compare to drive new tacks?
Look at a dedicated tack hammer and match its driving face to the fastener.
