Hammers.
Introduction
Most hammers have a very simple looking construction - a forged steel head which is securely fastened to either a wooden, fibreglass or steel shaft.
​
But, there are hammers and there are HAMMERS.
Since a hammer's main role is to hit things and the potential for disaster is high, we need to be absolutely certain that:
​
-
The materials are strong enough not to break or shatter
-
The head of the hammer will stay on the shaft
-
It's comfortable to use and has a good grip
​
In this module we'll look now at how we achieve these aims by examining:
​
-
The parts of a hammer and how they are treated in order to make them fit for purpose
-
The different types of hammer and their uses
-
The different hammers in the C.K Tools and Avit ranges
