What to check before you order

Head type for the work. Ball peen for metalwork and striking punches, dead blow or soft-face where you can't mark the part, sledges for heavy driving and demolition.
Weight. A heavier head drives harder but tires the user faster. Choose the lightest hammer that does the job.
Handle. Fiberglass and steel handles resist weather and overstrike. Wood handles absorb shock and are replaceable on many hammers.
Inspect striking tools. Retire hammers, chisels and punches with chipped faces or mushroomed heads, and wear safety glasses when striking.
Bar length and tip. Longer bars give more leverage. Pick a flat, chisel or pointed tip for the material you're prying.

Find more in hand tools, add eye and face protection, or see knives, blades and scissors.

Common questions

What is a dead blow hammer used for?

A dead blow hammer has a hollow head partly filled with shot or sand, which cuts down rebound when it strikes. It is used to seat parts, tap assemblies into alignment and knock things apart with less bounce and less marring than a steel hammer.

Can you strike a cold chisel with a claw hammer?

Claw hammers are made for driving nails, and their faces are not intended for striking hardened steel tools. Use a ball peen or engineer's hammer for chisels and punches, follow the tool maker's instructions, and wear safety glasses.
