Hammers

Hammers are among the most commonly used hand tools in professional tool kits. They are simple yet effective, with a variety of uses ranging from demolition to shaping materials and driving fastenings. Hammers are available in a variety of forms and styles across an extensive range of industries due to their simplicity and adaptability.

Available in various head materials including alloy steel, copper alloy, carbon steel, and rubber, RS Singapore is a trusted supplier of hand hammers and heavy-duty hammers from a range of trusted brands, including BETA, Facom, SAM, and our in-house brand, RS PRO.

Types of Hammer Tools

Hammer tools are available in a range of formats, each engineered for specific tasks, materials, and levels of impact force. Selecting the appropriate hammer can improve efficiency, reduce the risk of damage to the workpiece, and enhance user control.

Ball Pein

Ball pein hammers are versatile hand tools that are commonly used in metalworking applications. Their rounded pein is designed for shaping and forming metal, while the flat face can be used for striking punches, chisels, and other tools. Many ball pein hammers feature forged and heat-treated heads for increased durability, together with a choice of handle materials designed to balance comfort, strength, and shock absorption.

Claw

Claw hammers, most often associated with woodworking, can be used for a wide variety of tasks. They feature two working ends: a flat striking face for driving nails and a split claw for extracting nails or prying objects apart.

Claw hammers are available in a range of sizes, weights, and handle materials, including wood, steel, and fibreglass, allowing users to select a tool suited to the application and working environment.

Lump

A lump hammer, also known as a club hammer, is a compact version of a sledgehammer. Its short handle and heavy head make it suitable for demolition work, driving masonry chisels, and striking large fasteners or stakes.

Handle materials vary and can be made from wood, fibreglass, graphite, and steel, and often feature rubberised grips to help improve comfort and reduce transmitted vibration. Lump hammer heads are commonly manufactured from steel, although specialist non-sparking versions made from aluminium bronze or other copper-based alloys are also available.

Sledgehammers

A sledgehammer is a heavy-duty striking tool with a large head mounted on a long handle. It is designed for heavy-duty and demanding applications such as demolition, breaking masonry, driving stakes, and other tasks requiring substantial impact force.

Sledgehammers are available in a variety of head materials and weights to suit different applications. Users are advised to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety goggles, ear defenders, and reusable gloves during any demolition projects.

Framing

Framing hammers are heavy-duty hammer tools designed for structural timber construction and general carpentry work across Singapore. They typically feature a longer handle for increased leverage and driving force, while many models incorporate a milled striking face that helps reduce nail slippage during framing tasks.

Applications of Hand Hammers

Hand hammers and heavy-duty hammers are used across a broad range of industries and trades wherever materials need to be shaped, assembled, struck, or removed.

• Construction: In construction, hammers are essential for driving nails, breaking concrete, and demolishing structures. Lump hammers and sledgehammers are standard for demolition work, while claw hammers suit general carpentry and framing tasks.
• Metalworking: Ball pein hammers are widely used in metalworking for shaping metal, peening rivets, striking punches, and adjusting metal components. They are used by engineers and fabricators to work sheet metal and round off the edges of fasteners.
• Woodworking: Claw hammers and framing hammers are the primary hammer tools in woodworking, used for driving and removing nails and assembling timber structures throughout Singapore.
• Electrical Work: Electricians use hammers to install cable clips, drive anchors, and assemble conduit supports. Insulated handle options are available for use near electrical components.
• Automotive: In automotive workshops, hammers are used for panel beating, removing seized components, driving pins, and bearings. Rubber-headed and copper alloy hammers are specified where surface damage must be avoided.
