Hammers (DIY) (Non Powered)

GPC brick

About

Includes any products that may be described/observed as a hand tool meant to deliver blows to a target, causing it to move or deform. The most common uses are for driving nails, fitting parts, and breaking up objects. Hammers are often designed for a specific purpose, and so their design varies quite a lot. Usual features are a handle and a head, with the balance firmly in the head. The head is composed of a flat, striking surface on one end, and a peen on the other. The peen can be shaped like a claw or wedge to pull nails, or like a ball as in the ball-peen hammer.

Excludes

Specifically excludes mallets. Excludes products such as hatchets and anvils.
