Special Hammers
This category contains special hammers for jobs where a standard hammer does not suffice. Think of removing dents from sheet metal, working on scaffolds, or delivering heavy blows with a large head. When choosing, consider the head weight, the handle material, and whether the hammer can be hung up. Hickory absorbs vibrations, fibreglass is stiffer and lighter. For precision work, use a lighter hammer; for breaking, use a heavy sledge. That way you always have the right tool for the job.

Choosing the right special hammer
Head weight and handle define the job
Special hammers differ in head weight and handle length. A light hammer of 300 grams suits precision work like dent removal. A heavy-duty sledgehammer of 5000 grams breaks concrete or loosens seized parts. Choose the weight that matches the job. A hammer that is too heavy makes precision work inaccurate. A hammer that is too light delivers too little striking force.
Handle material: hickory or fibreglass
The handle determines how the hammer feels. Hickory dampens vibration and feels comfortable in your hand. Fibreglass is stiffer and lighter. That makes the hammer more durable for heavy strokes. A hickory handle can break with incorrect use. Use fibreglass for heavy work and hickory for jobs that need feel. Check that the handle sits firmly in the head. A loose handle is dangerous.
Special versions for specific work
A dent removal hammer has a flat and a rounded side. Use the rounded side to carefully reshape body panels. A scaffold hammer has a wedge-shaped head for positioning scaffold tubes. An interchangeable head hammer lets you swap heads. That way you use one handle for different jobs. Check the head size and weight. These are always marked on the hammer.
Looking for a hammer for general use? You will find one among the hammers. For accurate metalwork choose a machinist's hammer, and for gentle work without damage a rubber mallet or a copper hammer. If you really need to strike hard, a stoning hammer gives you the force you are after.
