FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
A lath hammer – often called a carpenter’s hammer – consists of a claw and a flat end. The claw is used to pull out nails, and the flat end is used to drive nails into wood.
Batten hammers are usually forged from one piece of steel and thus do not have a transition from handle to head. For comfort, a cloth or plastic sheath is usually attached to the handle. A characteristic feature of the roofing hammer is the head with two ends. One end is flat and usually roughened, the other end consists of a long and a short claw.
