Types of Hammer
Claw hammer
The claw hammer gets its name from the curved claw which is used to pull out nails. The claw is specially designed to grip all sizes of nails.
Using a claw hammer
Here are two handy hints to make pulling out nails that little bit easier:
1. Protect the surface of the work by placing a piece of hardboard under the head of the hammer
2. To pull out a long nail, go at it in stages using a block of wood to raise the hammer head and provide leverage.
The C.K and Avit range of claw hammers have all been designed to offer outstanding performance and for ease of use the claw shape has been carefully designed so that the angle of the claw gives maximum leverage with minimum effort.
C.K and Avit claw hammers:
