Hammers

The hammer is one of the world's oldest, simplest and handiest tools. Usually consisting of a [[Steel]|steel]] head and a wooden handle, the hammer's most frequent use is that of driving (or "hammering") nails into wood, walls, and elsewhere.

Fast Facts

Claw hammers' heads are blunt on one end for delivering blows and can extract nails with the other "claw"-like end
Framing hammers are similarly shaped but have a straight claw that can rip lumber
On geologist's hammers, the head is flat for delivering blows on one end while the other end may be either a chisel or a pick
Sledgehammers and mallets have larger heads and longer handles than average hammers and thus can deliver a more forceful blow
