A hand tool with a buffering effect has a body, a working element, and at least one shock-absorbing element. The body has a holding end and a connecting end respectively disposed on two ends of the body. The working element is connected to the connecting end of the body. The least one shock-absorbing element is disposed on the body between the holding end and the connecting end and has a length being larger than a half of a length of the body and being less than or equal to the length of the body. A user holds the body and uses the working element, and a shock-absorbing and buffering effect is provided by the at least one shock-absorbing element.

Provided is a system and method for a hand tool with a plurality of quick release work heads. The hand tool includes a handle having a socket having a first longitudinal axis and an inner cavity extending rearward from an open distal end, the inner cavity having a first non-circular cross section transverse to the first longitudinal axis, the socket further having a quick release transverse to the first longitudinal axis, the quick release releasably disposing a locker transversely across a portion of the inner cavity. The hand tool also includes at least one work head having a second longitudinal axis and a shaft having a second non-circular cross section concentrically conforming to the first non-circular cross section of the inner cavity, the shaft further having a locking groove transverse to the second longitudinal axis and disposed to engage with the quick release locker when the shaft is disposed within the socket of the handle. An associated method of use is also provided.

A collapsible hand tool includes a first handle portion, a second handle portion, a first tool element, and a second tool element. The first handle portion and the second handle portion are rotatably coupled by a first pivot element. The first handle portion and the first tool element are rotatably coupled by a second pivot element. The second handle portion and the second tool element are rotatably coupled by a third pivot element. The first tool element and the second tool element are rotatably coupled by a fourth pivot element. The collapsible hand tool can be moved from a collapsed configuration to an open configuration, and from the open configuration to the collapsed configuration.

A hammer is provided that includes a handle, a head, a striking insert, and a claw. The hammer provides for a head with a keyed hole to couple to a keyed projection on a striking insert. The head also includes a dovetail projection that couples to the dovetail connection of the claw. Each component may comprise a different material. For example, the striking insert and the claw comprise one material, and the handle and the head comprise another material. In some embodiments, a slotted punch with a magnetic retainer creates a bore through the face of the head and the striking insert to support a fastener (e.g., a nail) within the head.
