Claw hammers

Claw hammers – versatile helpers for craft work 

The claw hammer is a classic hand tool that can be found in almost every workshop due to its versatility. With its sturdy head, usually made of steel, and the characteristic "claw" end, it is suitable for both hammering in nails and removing nails and other fasteners. Claw hammers are available in a variety of sizes and designs and are suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple repair work to extensive construction projects.

Applications of the claw hammer 

The claw hammer is indispensable for numerous jobs:

• Nail: The flat side of the hammer can be used to hammer in nails efficiently.
• nail pulling: The hammer's distinctive "claw" end is ideal for pulling out nails, especially those that are firmly embedded.
• woodworking: The claw hammer is a useful tool for making furniture, setting wooden slats and for many other woodworking tasks.
• construction work and renovations: Whether building frames, fences or doing renovation work – the claw hammer is often the first thing you reach into your toolbox.

Features of a claw hammer 

Claw hammers are characterized by their head, which is made of sturdy steel or iron, and the long handle made of wood, fiberglass or plastic. The handles are designed to provide comfortable handling and high shock absorption during intensive use. The head of the claw hammer is flat on one side and in the shape of two "claw" prongs on the other side, which allow nails to be gripped and removed quickly. The striking surface is designed to work precisely and powerfully without damaging the material.

Care and handling of the claw hammer 

A claw hammer is very easy to care for, but you should still check regularly whether the head is firmly attached to the handle and has no cracks. The handle should be checked for stability, especially if it is made of wood, as this can crack or splinter over time. If the handle is damaged, it should be replaced immediately. Regularly cleaning the hammer after use ensures a long service life and optimal functionality.

The claw hammer is a real all-rounder and is one of the tools that no workshop should be without. Whether you are hammering in nails, removing them or carrying out general repairs - the claw hammer always offers the necessary impact power.
