Hammer for many purposes
Here on the page, you will find the complete selection of hammers, a piece of tools that have been used for several millennia.
The hammer is a very simple tool, available in many models, for many different tasks, in various weight classes and materials.
When choosing your new hammer, it is advantageous to consider what the hammer will be used for and how much.
Basically, the hammer consists of a weighted head, a handle, and the back of the head, and the 9 most commonly used hammer types are:
- Framer's Hammer
- Carpenter's Hammer
- Claw Hammer
- Masonry Hammer
- Bench Hammer
- Electrician's Hammer
- Glazier's Hammer
- Rubber Hammer
- Mukker
The 9 types can vary in design, material, and weight, and if you are unsure about which hammer to choose, you can read below and learn more about the different types of hammers.
10 things you should know about hammers
To provide a better overview of the different variants of hammers, some information about each variant is gathered below.
#1 - Framer's Hammer
The framer's hammer can closely resemble the claw hammer, but if you look closely, you can see that one claw is shorter than the other and the head is square.
You will often find this type of hammer in a carpenter's toolbox, and therefore the hammer is also referred to as a carpenter's hammer.
The claws on the framer's hammer are pointed, and one short claw makes it easy to secure the hammer in wooden joists or rafters, which is practical when the carpenter is working on a roof and needs to pull a batten towards him.
The pointed claws can also be used for scraping out joints, separating boards, driving nails, or if an accident occurs, to save the carpenter from falling by driving the claw into the roof.
The head is often square, which is an advantage if you need to drive nails in places where there isn't much room, as you can lay the hammer on its side and strike with the side of the head.
A framer's hammer typically weighs between 750 and 1000 grams, and as a rule, you should choose the hammer's weight according to the size of the nails you will be driving.
This means that the bigger the nails, the heavier the hammer, but it still needs to be a hammer you can work with for an extended period.
#2 - Carpenter's Hammer
A carpenter's hammer is often also called a joinery hammer and is a smaller type of hammer that is versatile and perfect when you need to drive nails into a wall.
The carpenter's hammer comes in several weight classes, so you can find a hammer that weighs around 100 grams up to one that weighs about 500 grams.
The lighter models are good for driving fine nails or staples into the wall, but if you need to drive larger nails, it would be advantageous to choose a slightly heavier model.
The advantage of a carpenter's hammer is that it is square at both the head and the body, which means you can get close to the corners of, for example, a cabinet or a drawer.
All surfaces are flat and can therefore be used as support in tight spaces, and the tip is flat and wide, making it particularly suitable for fastening staples.
This hammer is therefore particularly well-suited for smaller tasks at home or in spaces with limited room.
#3 - Claw Hammer
A claw hammer is the most commonly used hammer type for tasks at home, and it is a versatile hammer that resembles the framer's hammer.
Unlike the framer's hammer, the claw hammer is not square but has a round head and a curved body, as well as two equally long claws with a claw in between.
The claw is often very curved, which has the advantage of increasing the force transfer when you need to pull a larger nail out, as this is exactly what the claw is designed for—to pull nails out.
The claw hammer comes in various weight classes from about 300 grams to about 800 grams, and if the hammer is to be used for various purposes at home, it may be advantageous to have a weight of about 600-700 grams, thus a good middle ground that means you can use it for lighter tasks, but also have a good hammer for slightly larger tasks.
#4 - Masonry Hammer
A masonry hammer is characterized by having a broadly shaped chisel and a smaller square head.
It got its name because it is primarily used by masons to break bricks, for scraping and cutting in connection with plaster work.
At the same time, it can be used to drive nails and staples in, and the chisel can also be used as a small shovel.
This hammer is primarily suitable for masonry work as it is quite special and often large and heavy, ranging from about 500 grams up to about 1 kilo, and it can come with both long and short chisels.
#5 - Bench Hammer
The bench hammer is most often used in blacksmith work and other metalworking, for shaping and bending metal parts.
It is a very common hammer for versatile use and has a square head, with a flat or round tip.
It can be easily confused with the carpenter's hammer because they look very similar, as both are square and have a flat tip, and their functions are also very similar, but the bench hammer is often slightly larger and heavier than a carpenter's hammer.
The bench hammer ranges in weight from 200 grams up to the larger and heavier variants of up to 1500 grams.
#6 - Electrician's Hammer
An electrician's hammer can actually be used by anyone, but it is particularly developed for driving cable clips and plugs.
It has a U-shaped head, which makes it easier to hit accurately and effectively in corners and areas with limited space, minimizing the risk of unsightly marks on walls or woodwork.
The claws are flat and wide, making it easy to get under cable clips and pull them out without damaging the surface.
#7 - Glazier's Hammer
The glazier's hammer is also called a tack hammer, and is a very specialized hammer that is best suited for the small tacks that hold puttied panes in the window frame.
However, a glazier's hammer is also good for driving dowels and tacks, but otherwise it is a quite special type of hammer that also comes in different sizes and weight classes.
#8 - Rubber Hammer
The rubber hammer is also known as a stake hammer, which you use to drive stakes in when setting up a tent.
However, the hammer is also good for tapping other materials together when you want to ensure that these materials do not leave large visible marks.
The rubber hammer has a large cylinder-shaped head made of hard rubber, and often weighs about 500 grams.
#9 - Mukker
A mukker is a large and heavy hammer, often used for either demolition or to drive stakes into the ground.
The mukker is also known as a maul and delivers a very powerful blow.
A mukker is large and heavy, with a square head, which can also be hexagonal, and is the same at both ends.
The head is often made of iron and it is often here that the weight is placed.
A mukker can be found in many weight classes and with different lengths of handles, and the weight should match the task, meaning the larger the task, the more weight.
#10 - Materials
No matter what hammer you are looking for, you will often find the hammer type in different materials, especially regarding the handle.
You might be tempted to think that wood is always the best, but often wood needs maintenance, and as the hammer gets older, you may be unfortunate that the head eventually loosens or the handle breaks.
There are other materials that can do the same, but often require less maintenance, such as fiberglass or metal.
Fiberglass has the advantage that they can bend but not break, and at the same time, the head cannot just fall off.
The fiberglass handle is very strong and can absorb some of the vibrations that may occur when you strike something hard, which also makes it particularly well-suited for larger hammer variants.
Metal and cast iron handles often have a padded grip or a rubber grip, which can absorb any shock from the impact.
Metal handles are typically very robust and the head cannot come loose, although there can be a big difference between the cheaper models and the more expensive ones.
