ome of the most commonly used tools for do-it-yourselfers are slide
hammers, impact hammers and impact wrenches. In fact, the hammer has
been used to deliver impact on objects since as early as 2,600,000 BCE.
Today, it is used mainly to drive in nails, whereas the impact wrench is
the evergreen tool used to drive them out.Most home toolboxes should have a hammer or two for pounding fasteners into wood.What Is a Hammer?A
hammer is a simple tool designed to manually drive nails, brads, and
other fasteners into softer materials, such as wood or drywall. A hammer
has a head and a handle, or shaft. The components of the head depend on
the type and use of the hammer, but most have a face that strikes the
fastener behind the bell and neck, which holds the handle. The opposite
end of the head may have a forked nail-puller (called a claw hammer) or a
peen (small face for driving pins or tacks). Most construction and
household hammers are claw hammers with heads weighing 7, 10, 13, 16, or
20 ounces.
