Key Features Rip hammers, more properly called framing hammers, have a fairly straight claw, which can be used to rip apart nailed boards. Rip hammers are often heavier than claw hammers, but they come in a wide range of weights and sizes. If pounding in nails to hang picturesis just about the most action your hammer ever sees, there’s no need for a heavy tool made for more rigorous tasks. Instead, a lightweight hammer, such as the Olympia Tools 8-Ounce Claw Wood Hammer, gets the job done very effectively, but with less wear-and-tear on your hands and wrists and less potential damage to your walls should you misjudge your swing.

But that's not the only benefit of this hammer; it also has a face that's significantly larger than most other similar hammers, meaning you are far less likely to have a swing-and-miss, and thus less likely to strike your thumb instead of the nail, or damage the wall with a misplaced blow. And since it's made from a single length of forged steel, it's a tool that should last you for many decades of dependable use. The IIT 12-Ounce Stubby Hammer is meant for light-duty projects. The lightweight, ergonomic handle is covered in a soft rubber comfort grip that will work for both right- and left-handed individuals, and its stubby size makes this tool ideal for working in confined quarters or carrying out around-the-house repairs and simple carpentry tasks. Wood is the classic hammer handle and is still preferred by many. It’s fairly lightweight, doesn’t transmit a lot of vibration to your hand and wrist, and with enough use, wooden handles tend to “form” a little bit to your hand over time. Still, wooden handles are the likeliest to break, and they can be slippery. They’ll also rot or warp if left out in rough conditions or exposed to moisture. However, you can generally replace a wooden hammer handle if it breaks.You’ll find claw hammers weighing as little as 8 ounces and monsters weighing as much as 32 ounces, but for the average DIYer, a tool that’s between 16 and 20 ounces is best. Go toward the bottom of that range if you’ll mostly use the hammer for hanging pictures and similar light tasks, and toward the upper end of the range if you’ll be doing framing or similar construction activities. A drywall hammer’s weight affects its power and maneuverability. Light hammers allow for a controlled swing, but they often cannot effectively drive drywall nails. Heavy drywall hammers are difficult to control, but they can provide an adequate amount of strength to cut through drywall. Cost Built with a strong polyester fiber handle and a long-lasting titanium head, this drywall hammer is a high-quality and durable drywall tool. While increasing power, the nine-ounce titanium head reduces weight and recoil compared to traditional steel heads. Additionally, the hammer’s hatchet end has a thumb divot for increased grip and control. Key Features

There are different hammers out there, each with a specific purpose, although there can be overlaps among them. Here are some of the most common types of hammers: Ball Peen: The head of this hammer has a flat face on one side and a round, somewhat ball-shaped face on the other. There is no claw. Ball peen hammers are mostly used for metalwork.

Claw: This is the most common type of hammer. The head has a slightly curved, forked claw that’s useful for pulling nails out of wood and other materials. Most have a smooth face that won’t mar the wall as you drive the nail home. Smooth-faced claw hammers are sometimes called "finishing hammers." Rubber Mallet: Shaped much like a club hammer, but with a rubber head instead of metal, mallets are not used to drive nails but to add some force when driving stakes or chisels, building furniture, working with upholstery, or similar tasks where you need more power than your hands provide alone, yet you don’t want to damage the surface upon which you are working. If you’re looking to hang drywall in your home, here are some of the tools you may need in addition to a drywall hammer:Ascetically speaking, the AV’s are pretty damn nice looking hammers. That may not appeal to everyone, but for those of you who care about how your hammer looks, these are the “new Corvette” of ball pein hammers.

Club: Also called "drilling hammers," these short tools with two flat faces are basically smaller sledgehammers. Club hammers are great for light demolition, as well as driving chisels and wedges. Drywall hammers are useful for homeowners looking for help on serious DIY projects. Here are a few factors to consider before buying a drywall hammer. Handle If you don't expect to use your hammer for professional or heavy-duty DIY jobs, then there's no reason to spend money on a professional-level tool. Not when you can buy this sturdy 16-ounce framing hammer with a steel head, fiberglass handle, and very slightly curved rip claw for pulling apart nailed boards. Unlike many framing hammers, this one has a smooth face, which is slightly more forgiving, should you mis-swing and hit the wall instead of the nail. Tinner's: These hammers have a square face and a sharp claw without a fork. They are mostly used for metalwork, including hammering sheet metal and automotive repairs. Wood handles are effective at controlling vibrations during strikes, but they aren’t as durable as their fiberglass or steel counterparts. Fiberglass is a cheaper, more durable alternative to steel, but it’s difficult to replace if it breaks. Steel is the most durable handle material and adds weight to the hammer to help drive nails. Although hammers with steel handles are long-lasting, they typically produce heavy vibrations during use. WeightWhen it comes to weight, the Stubby is just right; at 12 ounces, it isn't too heavy, nor is it too light. The steel head is strong enough to survive repeated abuse for long projects, while the weight is convenient for the times you need a little extra force in your swing. At an overall 8 inches in length—the typical hammer has a 10-to-12-inch handle, plus the length of the head—it is also a perfect size for carrying around on your tool belt when not in use. Keep in mind that hammers can have many different uses, and this is just the most basic application of using one.
