Apparently, one hand aims while the other one provides the POWER!!

I don't know... I doubt that I would have the coordination to do that... he he Alex

It is a joke, like Jimmy Carter's "double claw" hammer. I am not sure it's $50 worth of funny tho.

[Woodcrafter]

It looks like that top handle would provide some extra nail removal leverage though? Might actually be a very useful hammer who knows!

Double claw hammers were manufactured, and not as a joke. There is at least one triple claw in a collection.

If someone found a use for double and triple claws, double handles might just be useful for something.

Woodcrafter notes:

I'd say it's a joke, or someone with too much time on his hands trying for an invention. The handle will split long before the hammer is useful, I'd guess.

Obviously someone removed the rubber sling. The bottom half is supposed to be a slingshot.

Double claw hammers are real.

This is also the first time I've seen a _claw_ hammer in bronze.

[Michael Daly]

Maybe it's for hammering in a marker by dowsers.

With the bronze head and all I'd guess it was made to present to someone as a retirement present or some sort of gag gift.

Probably represents some inside joke the rest of us will never get.

I am not talking about a hammer with a stacked double claw on one side. Carter has one with no striking surface and a claw on both sides.
