Hammers

A hammer is a tool with a handle and a heavy head at one end that is used to drive nails, break or shape materials, or deliver blows. There are numerous types of hammers, such as claw hammers, ball peen hammers, and dead blow hammers, each of which is designed for a specific task. A claw hammer has a curved claw on one end of the head that is used for nail removal. A ball peen hammer is a tool with a round head on one end that is used to shape and form metal. A dead blow hammer has a sand or lead shot-filled head that allows it to deliver blows without bouncing back. It is important to use the appropriate type of hammer for the task at hand and to follow safety guidelines when using a hammer.
