Product Information

A dry wall hammer will have a small axe on one end of the head and a hammer face on other. Axe is used for cutting plasterboard for pipes and making other holes or opening in the plasterboard. Sometimes they have a magnetic head for finding studs with screws/nails in, which can be very useful. Traditionally a lath hammer would have been used but now plasterboard is used there is no need to a lath hammer except in older buildings. The club hammer is a small version of a sledgehammer where brute force is required to break down masonry, stones and demolition work. It can also be used as an impact tool where you are looking to cut stone/hard metal with a chisel where perhaps precision is not required. As the name suggests, a trim hammer is more delicate than a traditional nail hammer. These hammers are compact and lightweight and are very popular within the carpentry industry. The polished steel head and smooth texture do not mark the surface when hammering nails flush. This hammer’s head has copper at one end and rawhide at the other. It is used for shaping metal when you do not want hammer marks on it, such as on car bodywork.

Available in a variety of sizes, these copper faced, cast iron head hammers act as a safer alternative for striking machined surfaces than conventional steel hammers. Both faces have been designed to be impact resistant, thus minimising rebound damage to the desired component and reducing noise pollution in the work place. The striking faces can be easily replaced once they have become worn, as can the wooden hammer handle to keep your tool working smoothly.A dead blow hammer gets its name because it doesn’t bounce off the object you’re hitting. The weight of the head material, combined with the use of a loose material inside the hammer head, causes it to slowly absorb the energy of each impact, making it ideal for delicate work where a standard hammer might cause damage. Q: Which Hammer is Best for General Metalwork? A brass hammer is a tool that is useful for a variety of tasks, including pounding nails into wood, striking chisels, and even shaping metal. Brass is a soft metal, so brass hammers are not as likely to damage the surfaces they are used on as harder metals like steel. Q: Why is it Called a Dead Blow Hammer? These are some common uses for a copper hammer, but this is not an exhaustive list. This versatile tool performs various tasks, both in the workshop and out. As you might guess, the mechanics hammer is instrumental when looking to remove dents from car panels. The design is very different to a traditional hammer with a metal flat hammerhead complemented by a pointed impact tool. Watching a mechanic remove dents from a car panel is a joy and an art in itself.

The most common types of hammer handles are wood and metal with the wood type simply shaved into the desired shape on a lathe. After this process the wooden handle is clamped and a diagonal slot created at the top which is where the hammerhead and handle will be united. The process for a metal hammer handle is very similar to the creation of the hammerhead with steel bars heated to extreme temperatures and molten steel forced into shaped dies. Other materials can be added to the centre of the hammers to give greater strength and longevity. You might think that a hammer is just a hammer but in fact there are many different types of hammer out there each with it’s own specific job. You might also think that there are all the same parts of a hammer but again these can differ depending on the type of hammer. When it comes to performing various tasks, copper hammers are a handy tool to have. Despite its wide range of uses, it is beneficial for delicate tasks that require a soft touch.

The name gives it away because a boiler scaling hammer is a vital element of the toolkit of fitters and welders. The hammerhead is made of a hardened metal with both a horizontal and vertical chisel head which is perfect for the removal of scale from boiler plates. It can also be used in other scenarios. Copper hammers are also antibacterial, making them an ideal material for use in kitchens where food safety is a primary concern. Consequently, a copper hammer is suitable for a variety of purposes. These are soft faced hammers that are used for molding metal without damaging the surface being molded. Over the years we have seen many different types of reflex hammer but they all create the same end result. Modern day reflex hammers, with their rubberlike head, are used to tap on a deep tendon to test reflexes. As the hammer head is made of a rubberlike material, of varying shapes, it carries significant force but will not actually cause damage. Reflex hammers are also used for chest percussion. They are typically made of beech (a hardwood) and are used where a metal hammer might do damage to the piece or project being worked on or the other tools, such as the chisel.
