CLASSIFICATION OF HAMMER
1. Ball peen Hammer

- Many types of hammer in workshop but the ball peen hammer is one of
the most versatile. As its name suggests, this hammer has two heads –
one flat and one pein – which makes it ideal for shaping metal, closing
rivets, and rounding the edges of pins and fasteners. The rounded pein
also makes it ideal for matting the edges of a gasket. Handles are typically
wood, but some models have metal or composite handles for added
durability. No matter what the handle is made of, the ball peen hammer is
an essential tool for any workshop.
2. Cross Peen Hammer

- Various types of hammers are used in the workshop, each suited for
different purposes. One of these is the cross peen hammer, which
consists of a regular hammerhead with a wedge-like pein on another side.
This hammer is helpful for those who hit their hand while trying to position
a nail or tuck it into the wood or plasterboard. The wedge side allows you
to track the nail without harming your fingers. Another type commonly
used in the workshop is the ball peen hammer, which helps strike and
shape metal. The ball peen hammer has two heads – one round and one
flat – that can be used for different tasks. The round head is used for
painful center punches and rivets, while the flat head can be used for
shaping and flattening metal. No matter what type of hammer you need,
there’s sure to be one perfect for the job.
3. Straight Peen Hammer
- A straight peen hammer is a tool that is used for shaping metals and for
fixing nails into place. The significant difference between a cross peen
hammer and a straight peen hammer is that the peen of a straight peen
hammer is vertically aligned. The straight peen hammer is generally used
in metalworking industries but can also be found with carpenters or
mechanics. The handle of this hammer is longer than that of a cross peen
hammer, making it less likely to break when striking nails or metals. A
straight peen hammer is an essential tool for anyone who works with
metals or carpentry, and it is an excellent addition to any toolbox.
4. Rubber Mallet
- The rubber hammer is one such type of hammer that is extremely helpful
for work that requires soft blows. As the name suggests, the head of the
hammer is made up of rubber with a wooden handle. This hammer is
commonly used in woodworking, upholstery, and sheet metal, which
requires softer but firm blows. This hammer is perfect for forcing the
plasterboard into place without harming or damaging it. In addition, the
rubber hammer is also helpful for installing flooring and tiles and for driving
nails into the wood without splitting it. The rubber hammer is a versatile
and essential tool for any workshop.
5. Sledge Hammer
- A sledgehammer is a tool used for various purposes, including demolition
and driving stakes. It has a long handle and a heavy head, which makes it
easier to swing and deliver a decisive blow. Unlike a regular hammer,
which focuses force on a small area, a sledgehammer can distribute force
over a larger area. This makes it ideal for breaking up concrete or
masonry. In addition, the longer handle gives the user more leverage,
making it easier to drive nails into hard surfaces. While a sledgehammer is
not the right tool for every task, it is an essential part of any well-equipped
workshop.
6. Club Hammer
- A hammer is an essential tool for any workshop. Many different types of
hammers are available, each designed for a specific purpose. Club
hammers are smaller and lighter than sledgehammers, making them easy
to use with one hand. They are often used for light demolition work or
masonry work. When used with a steel chisel, a club hammer can be an
effective tool for cutting stone or metal. This type of hammer is also known
as a lump hammer. Although they are not typically used for commercial
work, club hammers can be valuable to any workshop.
PARTS OF A BALL PEEN HAMMER
A ball peen hammer consists of the following parts:
Head: The striking surface of the hammer, typically round or hemispherical in shape.
This is the “ball” part of the ball peen hammer.
Ball Peen: The opposite side of the head, which is wedge-shaped or pointed. This is
used for tasks like riveting or shaping metal.
Eye: The opening in the head where the handle is inserted and secured.
Handle: The long, usually wooden or steel shaft that provides leverage and grip for the
user.
The ball peen hammer is a versatile tool used in metalworking, woodworking, and other
applications where a rounded striking surface is desired, such as for shaping, peening,
or light riveting work.
