There are many different types of hammers, each designed for a specific purpose. Commonly used hammers include claw hammers, sledge hammers, framing hammers, and ball peen hammers. Each hammer is designed to suit a particular need or task. Claw hammers have curved claws that help grip nails firmly and can be used in tight spaces. Sledge hammers are typically heavier than other hammers, making them ideal for driving larger nails. Framing hammers are designed to create straight lines when nailing together wood frames. Ball peen hammers are used to shape metal objects into desired shapes.
