![]() The shape, size and material used for each of these elements will vary depending upon their use. ![]() While there are many different variations on the traditional hammer they all have two main components which are the head and the handle. What we see today is very often taken for granted but we do know that the range of modern day hammers can be traced back thousands of years. Indeed archaeological digs from 200 BC show that the ingenious Romans had created a range of different types of hammerhead with even a “claw hammer” dating back to 75 AD discovered during Roman settlement digs.īy very definition, the fact that a “claw hammer” was available in Roman times would seem to indicate that metal nails were also a common construction tool. In reality this was the first major breakthrough in the design of the modern day hammerhead allowing for much tougher materials to be used in construction. There is historical evidence to suggest that bronze/copper hammerheads were used around 3,000 BC in an area of the world we now know as Iraq. However, it was only really in the Bronze Age that we saw the creation of the hammers styles which we see today and often take for granted. The first hammers date back to 2,400,000 BC when stones were used as the hammerheads then we have the first real modern day hammer with stones attached to sticks via strips of leather and animal sinew (dating back to 30,000 BC). When we use the term “hammer” we all know what to expect, what they are used for but do you realise how many types of hammers there are and their crucial design elements? In its most basic form you can describe your hammer as a handheld tool which is simply used to strike another object.
