Abstract
Hammers suitable to different tasks are described. Each hammer includes features to reduce vibration and provides advantageous balance and mass distribution. The hammers have a handle portion comprising an I-shape sectional profile and a head comprising a cavity formed therethrough. Each hammer may further comprise various nail or other fastener removal structures, such as a claw, slots, notches, or the like. The hammer may further include a nail-starter with magnetic nail retention.
Claims20
A striking tool for riveting, the tool comprising:
- a handle portion adapted to be removably received by a user having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a head connected to a first end of said handle portion;
- wherein a region of the head defines at least one weight reducing void, a cavity extending transversely through the head, the head further comprises a striking surface adapted to hit a rivet target at a first end of the head;
- and the head further defines a plurality of beams extending over a surface of the head wherein said beams extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the striking surface of the head in order to absorb force which in the absence of said beams would be transmitted to the handle portion.
A striking tool for stone or brick, the tool comprising:
- a handle portion adapted to be removably received by a user having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a head connected to a first end of said handle portion;
- wherein a region of the head defines at least one weight reducing void, a cavity extending transversely through the head, the head further comprises a striking surface at a first end of the head, a plurality of cutting edges at a second end of the head;
- and the head further defines a plurality of beams extending over a surface of the head wherein said beams extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the striking surface of the head in order to absorb force which in the absence of said beams would be transmitted to the handle portion.
A sledgehammer striking tool, the tool comprising:
- a handle portion adapted to be removably received by a user having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a head connected to a first end of said handle portion;
- wherein a region of the head defines at least one weight reducing void, a cavity extending transversely through the head, the head further comprises a first striking surface at a first end of the head and a second striking surface at the second end of the head;
- and the head further defines a plurality of beams extending over a surface of the head wherein said beams extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the striking surface of the head in order to absorb force which in the absence of said beams would be transmitted to the handle portion.
