Multi-purpose hand tool

A multi-purpose hand tool, comprising a first side and a second side that are pivotally connected, said first side comprising a lower end and an upper end, said upper end comprising:

• 1) a shaft having a hammer head at one end;
• 2) a first recess extending at least partially along a bottom of the shaft, said first recess comprising:
• a) an end located in the shaft opposite the hammer head and having a depth configured to hold a head of a straight fastener, said depth being greater than the depth of a remaining part of the first recess, and
• b) opposing ledges on the bottom of the shaft that hold a body of the straight fastener in a horizontal orientation relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft so that an end of the straight fastener extends from a lower part of the striking surface of the hammer head;
• 3) a second recess located substantially in a bottom part of the hammer head, said second recess comprising:
• a) a flat part formed by the body of the hammer head;
• and
• b) opposing sides of the hammer head extending downwardly from the flat part and forming opposing grooves that hold parallel sides of a U-shaped fastener in a perpendicular orientation relative to a longitudinal axis of the first side, so that both ends of the U-shaped fastener extend from a lower part of the striking surface of the hammer head;
• and
• 4) a magnet at a point where a bent portion of the U-shaped fastener is held within said second recess,
• wherein said first recess widens towards the hammer head and is integral with said second recess.
