Choose the Versatile Hammer for Every Challenge
There is a basic hammer in every DIY toolbox, and choosing one that can do almost any task is very important. Find the right hammer for your needs by following these simple guidelines.
In a single hammer house, you’ll need one for light tasks like hammering small nails, hanging pictures, removing hinges, and doing basic woodwork.
Choose a medium weight (10-12 oz) hammer with claws. This will cover just about any task you can imagine. The Estwing hammer with leather handle has stood the test of time and is forged from a single piece of steel.
Avoid long hammers as they are inconvenient to use in the home and small precision hammers simply won’t cut them for more intense use.
Our best advice is to go to a home center and hold and swing every hammer you can. Pay attention to the balance of the hammer and make sure your handle is strong.
