101 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The IVY 15005 is a single tack hammer with a metal head, a hickory wood handle, and a 5 oz weight. That puts it squarely in classic tack-hammer territory, with a wood handle for shock absorption.
At $15.08 it sits in the middle of this group on price. Its 4.6-star rating comes from 101 reviews, which meets our minimum for a trustworthy sample and signals consistent buyer satisfaction.
The data does not list a magnetic head, so you will start tacks by hand. If you value a hickory handle and a solid rating over rock-bottom price, it is a sound choice.

Performance notes
The 5 oz metal head and hickory handle are built for driving small tacks and brads with controlled, shock-dampened strikes. Without a magnetic face, tacks must be held in place by hand.
