FYI on Klein Ball Peen Hammer
Reviewing The Various Types Of Hammers Available
Hammers are considered the oldest tools on earth, and they were likely the technology with which other tools were initially made. The oldest hammer discovered was most likely worked with about 2-1/2 million years ago to make ancient knives or cooking tools. Happily, these days we may shop for our arrows and use the hammers for nails, metal punches and now and again a wayward thumb. The three very general kinds of hammers are described below, along with a sample of specific products. Be sure to check out the Air Wrench.
A claw hammer is designed just for driving nails into other materials. Sometimes, the claw end will be required to remove nails which were sloppily hammered in by some other guy. The head on a claw hammer is fashioned out of fairly brittle steel, so these hammers are not designed for metalwork. However, they are quite effective on wood, MDF and the other guy’s thumb. Another must see are the Air Grinders.
Stanley has a nicely designed 16 oz claw hammer mounted on a fiberglass handle that might look very professional in your toolbox. The high-visibility yellow handle would be easy to locate in your toolbox, and it’s fiberglass material and textured rubber make it easy on your hand, while the annealed head makes it hard on nails.
Ball-peen hammers are very different from claw hammers because these hammers include a ball-shaped strike surface and never have a claw-end. This kind of hammer is used in metalworking procedures for things like striking punches and chisels with enough force to dent metal. Occasionally, it has been employed to adjust sheet metal if the standard machinery is not around. As a result of the way these kinds of hammers are used, they are not very likely to land on thumbs, while knuckles occasionally become collateral damage. Klein Tools, Inc. offers a 12.5 inch ball peen hammer which has a high-carbon steel head. The hardwood hickory handle offers more force to the strike and is amply sturdy for years of use.
A sledgehammer is made with a very big head, flattened on each end and is naturally quite a bit heavier than the previous two kinds of hammers. Sledgehammers are meant to mete out more force than the smaller hammers and are not really made for accuracy. These hammers are normally used for driving fence posts and are particularly effective for demolition of numerous materials. Pony makes a 10-pound sledgehammer mounted on a 36-inch fiberglass handle which makes sure the impact stays with the object, not the person employing this hammer. The steel head is heat treated for resilience, and the strike surfaces in addition to the sides are coated to inhibit rust.
Hammers are very basic and very handy tools. They may be used for driving, squashing, punching, and sometimes for demolition. No self respecting tool box ought to be in public without at least a couple of these multipurpose tools. By the way, they are certainly not intended for thumbs, fingers or other extremities, so make sure that other guy keeps his hands out of the path.
