Hammer Time

It’s hammer time and we’re not talking 90s hip hop! There is a huge range of hammers to choose from depending on your job. An electrician will use a hammer with rubber coating and fiberglass handle whereas a framer would use a heavier version of a classic claw hammer but a finishing carpenter would use a lighter version of the claw hammer. With this wide range of factors, how do you know which hammer is best for your job? Think about the price point first. It’s a good idea to remember the old adage “you get what you pay for” and some materials are worth the money. Yes, titanium, fiberglass, and high-carbon steel are a bit pricier but they’re not only durable they also help to absorb the impact of the work. Lastly, those lighter and lower impact hammers have their place and can be great even made out of wood or high-density plastic.
