The importance of hammers in all walks of life. Choosing a suitable hammer and using it correctly can not only improve work efficiency, but also ensure work safety.
2. Main types of hammers
1. Ball-peen hammer: Also known as a general-purpose hammer, it is suitable for a variety of basic percussion tasks, such as driving nails, breaking objects, etc. The weight of the ball-peen hammer's head is evenly distributed and can provide greater striking force.
2. Claw hammer: It has a straight claw and a slightly raised round head. The claws can be used for pulling out nails, flattening metal, etc. Claw hammers are mostly used in carpentry and bench work.
3. Bricklayer's hammer: The head is soft and is usually used to hit hard and brittle materials such as masonry to avoid breakage. At the same time, its long handle design also helps to maintain a certain distance when tapping, reducing hand fatigue.
4. Section hammer: mainly used for metal forming and shaping. Its head has various shapes, and you can choose the appropriate shape according to different needs.
5. Electrician's hammer: Lightweight and insulated, it is used by electricians to hammer when working in small spaces or at high altitudes.
