I'm sure HD takes their description from Dewalt as does every seller.

From the DeWalt web site https://www.dewalt.com/product/dwht51138x/toughseries-14-oz-mig-weld-hammer
They clearly say it is a framing hammer. It is just named Mig Weld Hammer. Perhaps referring to part of the manufacturing process?

well that's a dumbass name for a framing hammer. Imagine a wife trying to get her husband a welding hammer for his Birthday or Christmas. They see this, and whamo, instant disappointment when opened.

DeWalt tools are mostly ****e, these days. Another brand bought out and ruined for maximizing profits. The fact that they could release this obviously mislabeled product, speaks volumes of their operation.

yep, I recently needed a 1/4 extension for holding driver bits. I use it for a wire brush and drill bits with a 1/4 hex. I wanted a locking one, so that when I pull out the bit comes with it. Bought Dewalt thinking it would be quality.. Even many Dewalt bits don't lock in. Total Crap.
edit: They decided to do things differently than everyone else. Rather than use a simple ball, they use a cylinder and come in on the high point of the hex... But most of the time it does not engage. Bully for them.

14 oz seems very light for a framing hammer. It definitely is a framing hammer though as it has the magnetic nail starter feature. Perhaps the "mig weld" refers to the manner of manufacture of the hammer.
