How to choose a hammer

Hammers are the workhorse of the toolbox, taking the brunt of our projects — literally. There are several things to consider when choosing the right hammer for the job.

Brick hammer

In addition to a square, blunt side for breaking large pieces of brick or stone, a brick hammer also has a blade on one side that’s shaped like a chisel. This allows you to chip smaller pieces with more precision. This kind of hammer is ideal for landscaping projects.Different projects require different hammers.

Ballpein hammer

Sometimes called a machinists hammer, ballpein hammers are used for shaping metal. One half of the head is blunt while the other is rounded. They can be used to fix dents.

Rubber mallet

The large rubber head on this tool makes it ideal for tapping flooring into place, assembling furniture without denting the material and driving stakes into the ground while camping.

Dead blow mallet

The hull of a deadblow mallet is filled with metal beads, which helps minimize the kickback. This is useful when working in tight places.

Stubby hammer

If you need to get into small spaces, a stubby hammer will help you get the job done.

Flatbar hammers

Flatbar hammers are lighter, so you can swing it harder with less effort and drive the nail in easier.
