|A hammer is a tool with a heavy "head" and a handle. The purpose is to supply an impact to a small area of an object. Some uses include driving nails into wood, shaping metal, or driving stakes. Hammers are also used to strike chisels and other tools like metal punches. A hammer can be very dangerous if it slips out of the users hand. Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer due to the risk of material flying into your eye. | |A hammer is a tool with a heavy "head" and a handle.
