The commonest two are the 'claw hammer' and the 'engineer's hammer'. -Many people use variations of the claw hammer which in basic form has a shaft about a foot long and a steel head with a round, flat striking surface on one side and a nail pulling claw on the other. There are hundreds of variations in the size, shape and material of this popular hammer design. I have at least 3 which are radically different although the same basic design.

- The engineers hammer usually has a hickory shaft about 14 inches long, and a steel head with a round flat striking surface at one end and a hemispherical head at the other side. As with the claw hammer, there are numerous variations on this design.
