Hammers

Choose the right hammers when you are building a timber wall, removing old nails, laying paving slabs or breaking up brickwork. Adding a few different types to your hand tools collection gives you the force and control you need for jobs at home, in the workshop or on site.

Use claw hammers to drive nails into timber and pull them back out. Switch to heavier club hammers when you need to strike a chisel or break up small areas of brick and concrete. For tiles, timber joints and other finished surfaces, rubber mallets let you apply firm pressure with less risk of leaving marks.

Explore options from brands such as Estwing, Roughneck and Minotaur. Compare the head shape, handle material and grip to find a hammer that feels comfortable and suits the work you do.
