Abstract
A hammer having a handle and head, the head comprising a cavity encapsulating a slug. The slug is configured to move in at least one direction within the cavity upon impact of the hammer with a target, reducing the transfer of momentum into the handle of the hammer and thus reducing vibration of the hammer in a user's hand. This dampening of the vibration can improve user ergonomics by minimizing fatigue caused by vibrations during continued use of the hammer.

- a handle extending in a first direction;
- a head coupled to the handle, the head having at least an outer surface and an inner surface defining a cavity, the outer surface defining a first striking region configured to strike a target;
