How is the size of a hammer determined?

It is determined by the size of its head and its handle. In addition the choice of the hammer also depends on its use.

Explanation:

The hammer is part of the family of percussion tools, or beating, and consists of:

a handle, whose length varies depending on the force that needs to be applied;

the head with a different shape, depending on the function for which it was built. It is the part that serves to strike;

the nail, part opposite the head with which to help in auxiliary tasks to the main function of the hammer.

The most obvious example of this double function of the head is, on one side, hitting a nail to nail it and, on the other, tearing it off.

The hammer is a versatile tool par excellence. In the market there are specific hammers for the heaviest jobs, such as tearing down walls, assembling pieces or the most delicate, such as carving.
