Hammers come in many forms, and they serve different purposes. For example, a claw hammer, what is its structure and what is its function?


In detail, the top surface of the claw hammer is flat and can be used to hammer nails to fix things, or to smash things that need to be changed in shape. On the other side of the top is the hammer head, which should be embedded in the object, so it can be shaped like a claw or a wedge. When we use it, we must first check whether the connection between the hammer head and the hammer handle is firm. If it is loose, tighten the wedge immediately to prevent you accidentally injuring yourself during use. The hammer handle can also be replaced. The length of the hammer handle should be moderate, neither too long nor too short.


A claw hammer can knock, knock, and pull nails. When driving the nails, the hammer head should be aligned with the nail cap and struck so that the nails enter the wood vertically. A block of wood should be placed on the horn when pulling the nails. Strengthen the pulling force, because the claw hammer is relatively thin, and improper use will cause movement, so the claw hammer should not be used as a prying tool.
