Can a lever be more than one class?
Yes, a hammer can be both a class-1 and a class-3 lever. Although, not all levers can be more than one class only some. For example, a hammer and a clothespin.
Why can a clothespin be a class 1 lever and a class 3 lever?
because In a Type 1 Lever, the pivot (fulcrum) is between the effort and the load. In an off-center type one lever (like a pliers), the load is larger than the effort, but is moved through a smaller distance. Examples of common tools (and other items) that use a type 1 lever include and in a Type 3 Lever, the effort is between the pivot (fulcrum) and the load.
