  • Basic Tool Information and Safety
    Basic Tool Information And Safety G.A. Blackburn © TINKERS CORNER 2010 The amount of energy delivered to the target by the hammer-blow is equivalent to one half the mass of the head times the square of the head's speed at the time of impact While the energy delivered to the target increases linearly with mass, it increases geometrically with the speed (see the effect of the handle, below). HAMMER Force A hammer is a tool meant to deliver an impact to an object. The most common uses are for driving nails, fitting parts, forging metal and breaking up objects. Hammers are often designed for a specific purpose, and vary widely in their shape and structure. The usual features are a handle and a head, with most of the weight in the head. The basic design is hand-operated, but there are also many mechanically operated models for heavier uses, such as steam hammers. The hammer may be the oldest tool for which definite evidence exists. Stone hammers are known which are dated to 2,600,000 BCE.[1][2] The hammer is a basic tool of many professions. Popular hand-powered types include: Ball-peen hammer, or mechanic's hammer Carpenter's hammers (used for nailing), such as the Framing hammer and the claw hammer The physics of hammering Construction hammers, including the Sledgehammer Hammer as a force amplifier Cross-peen hammer, or Warrington hammer A hammer is basically a force amplifier that works by Drilling hammer - a lightweight, short handled converting mechanical work into kinetic energy and back.
