1. Hand Hammer  

Hand hammer is commonly used for light types of work. They weigh from 0.125 kg to 1.5 kg. Handles are fitted according to weight, The length of which is approximately: 25 to 35 cm.

Because peen and face are used to hit, both these parts are hard and temper. The space between the peen and the face is called post, which is kept soft, so that the hammer is not broken. The hand hammer is separated based on the shape of the peen. 
  • Ball Pean Hammer 
  • Cross Pean Hammer
  • Straight pean hammer
  • Double Face Hammer
(i) Ball Pean Hemmer
The peeler of this hammer is round like a ball, while the face is flattened like the other hammer. It is used for marking, chipping, light bruising etc. Ball peen is most commonly used in riveting.
The goal of the rivet is easily spread around the ball pean due to rounding.

3. Soft Hammer  
When we have to hit the work area such that there is no mark on its surface, then we should use soft hammer. Soft hammers bear the brunt, as they are not stiffer than the metal of the workpiece. Soft hammers are made from wood, copper, plastic, nylon, raw leather or hard rubber etc. They are used in mounting or unloading bearings, assembling finished goods, or other similar tasks. 
They are of the following types
  • Raw Leather Hammer
  • Mallet
  • Nylon Hammer
  • Plastic Hammer
i) Raw Leather Hammer
It is made by steel similar to the double faced hammer. After this, pieces of raw leather are applied on both the surfaces. The hammer strikes do not create marks due to the leather covered surfaces.
