Hammers

A hammer is a hand tool consisting of a heavy head and a handle, used for striking, pounding, or driving objects such as nails, stakes, or chisels into a solid surface. Hammers come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific tasks. The most common type is the claw hammer, used for driving nails and removing them. Other types include sledgehammers, mallets, framing hammers, and ball-peen hammers. The head of the hammer can be made of different materials, including steel, iron, and fiberglass, and the handle can be made of wood, rubber, or synthetic materials. Hammers are commonly used in construction, woodworking, metalworking, and other manual labor tasks.
