It is generally a tool consisting of a heavy weight, usually on a handle, used for pounding things. Some extremely primitive hammers consist of rocks with handholds. Familiar kinds of hammers include a carpenter's hammer, used for pounding nails into wood, a blacksmith's hammer, used for pounding heated metal into shape, and a sledge hammer, used for breaking up rocks, walls or masonry. Some clublike weapons are also called hammers.
The word is also applied to the part of an old-fashioned revolver which strikes the percussion cap, the part of a piano that strikes the keys and one of the three tiny bones in the inner ear.
