How to use a Hammer?


When everything is set and settled, the following are the steps in how to rightly use the claw hammer:

When pounding the nail:

Hold hammer strongly

Get a solid grip and hold the hammer at the end of the handle. Some anyway, especially the beginners would grip it a few inches away from the end, almost at the middle where they feel most relaxation, have the amazing grip and power efficient. Through practice, you will be capable to be adept of holding it near the end, though. Then feet it and try to swing it on your hand to make sure the balance.

Hit the nail

When using the hammer, ensure to hit the surface of the nail perfectly with just the right amount of force. That means not to use all your force to pound hard, not it be too flexible to almost seems like you are just tapping it.

And while keeping the best grip, use the distribution of strength of your full arm and not just solely work on your wrist and hand. In order to target the nail directly, permit the weight of the hammer to perform the work and not your arm.


A vital reminder, the object or wood you are working with should be located on a hard surface.

Follow up consistently
Follow a steady force and pace when pounding until the nail is set rightly and is flushed to the wood. With practice, you will be capable to develop your own methods that are relaxed and best works for you for increased efficiency.
