Abstract
A striking tool includes an elongated handle having a first end and a second end. The head is attached to or formed integrally with the first end of the handle and defines a striking portion, a claw portion, and a body portion therebetween. The striking tool may have slots, notches, and/or cavities configured to engage fasteners or other objects for applying torsion thereto. A striking member may be removably attached to the striking portion of the head, which may define a nail puller. Attachments, such as an axe head, may be removably attachable to the head of the striking tool.
Claims24
A striking tool, comprising:
- an elongated handle having a first end and a second end;
- a head attached to or formed integrally with the first end of the handle and defining a striking portion, a claw portion generally opposite the striking portion and a body portion therebetween;
- an open-faced cavity formed in the body portion of the head for engaging fasteners or other objects;
- an elongated slot formed in the handle, the slot having a tapering diameter along a length thereof and defined by opposing walls configured to engage the fasteners or the other objects for applying torsion thereto;
- and
- a striking member removably attached to the striking portion of the head, wherein the striking member comprises a striking face and an apron extending therefrom and defining a beveled inner surface that frictionally engages a surface of the striking portion of the head as the striking member is fastened to the striking portion of the head.
