A hammerhead used for magnetically holding different sizes and lengths of nails. Also, the hammerhead can be used for holding tacks, brads and other types of fasteners. The hammerhead is used to start the initial driving of a nail into a nail receiving surface and avoids the holding of the nail with one hand and possibly hitting the hand with the hammerhead. The hammerhead is characterized by having a head member with an outwardly extending annular shaped nose. The nose includes a rear portion integral to and extending outwardly from the head member, a front portion with a nail striking face, a top portion and a bottom portion. The length of the top portion of the nose includes a "V" shaped groove for receiving a portion of the nail therein. A magnet hole, in the top portion of the nose, is disposed next to the nail striking face. The magnet hole is used for receiving a magnet with a non-magnetic sleeve therearound. Extending downwardly from the magnet hole is a knock-out hole which is used for removing the magnet when the magnet is damaged or it loses it's magnetic flux. The top of the magnet is disposed along the length of the "V" shaped groove for holding the nail received in the groove. The top portion also includes a nail head slot at one end of the "V" shaped groove for receiving different size nail heads.
