There are many different types of hammers suited for various purposes. The most popular general use hammer is the claw hammer, available in weights from 455g to 680g. Ball pein and cross pein hammers are commonly used by engineers for shaping metal. Larger hammers like sledgehammers and club hammers are used for heavier demolition work. Specialty hammers include joiner's mallets, soft-faced hammers, and hammers for specific trades like upholstery. Power hammers take the work out of driving nails for large projects.
