Know About Types of Hammer
To learn about the different types and choose the one you need, read on.
Claw
When people think of a hammer, they are most likely thinking of a claw hammer. The claw hammer has a regular hammerhead. What sets this hammer apart is the claw on the back, often used for prying up nails
Mallet
A mallet is a large, two-sided hammer. It is usually made of a softer material, like rubber or wood. Mallets are often used when working with more fragile materials.
Brick & Mortar
Brick & mortar hammer is usually used for bricklaying. It is constructed of a heavy-duty metal head with an impact-absorbing handle. The back of the hammer usually features a sharp chisel, ideal for working on bricks.
Rubber Soft Hammer
A soft rubber hammer is quite similar to a mallet. However, it is much smaller (about the size of a normal hammer) and easier to control. Like the mallet, the rubber soft hammer is often used when working with more fragile materials.
Drywall
A drywall hammer is used for the installation of plasterboard and drywall. These hammers usually feature a shock-absorbing handle, similar to the one found in a brick and mortar hammer. The other defining feature of the drywall hammer is the sharp chisel on the back, which is used to chip off drywall and plasterboard.
Copper & Hide
A copper and hide hammer is a unique design made from copper on one end and rawhide on the other. Some people think this hammer is a bit old-fashioned, but pros still use it for a variety of different applications.
Deadblow
Deadblow hammers are designed to not rebound off any surface. They are made of aluminium, with nylon heads. The grips are designed to be shock-resistant.
Club
Club hammers are the most heavy-duty type of common hammer. They can weigh four pounds or more. Club hammers are usually made of thick, heavy-duty steel and shock-resistant handles.
