Disclosed is a hammer assembly includes a hammer with a head portion and a handle portion with a cavity, and a nail holder assembly that includes a holder component and a sliding component, wherein the nail holder assembly is configured to be removably stored in the cavity of the handle portion of the hammer.

A striking hand tool includes a grip component where an external surface has a front arc half and a rear arc half, wherein an area of the grip is smaller in a first cross sectional plane further from a head of the tool than a second plane closer to the head portion. A value of the front arc half in the first cross sectional plane is less than approximately 0.45. A measurement from a first axis to a frontmost point in the first cross sectional plane is between 17.5 mm and 19 mm. A value of the front arc half in the second cross sectional plane is less than approximately 0.5. A measurement from the first axis to a frontmost point in the second cross sectional plane is between 18.5 mm and 20 mm. Methods of manufacturing and striking hand tools having desirous durometer measurements are also disclosed.

A tool, such as a hammer, including a surface to strike objects, such as nails, and a mechanism to facilitate the removal of objects, such as staples that have been inserted into wood. In one embodiment the mechanism includes a recess in the hammerhead body and a projection that extends above the recess.

A fulcrum prybar includes a shaft portion extending along a first axis, a curved prying portion affixed to a first end of the shaft portion, and a fulcrum portion affixed to the curved prying portion. The fulcrum portion includes two rectangular portions fused together to form an obtuse angle or a right angle cross section. One of the two rectangular portions is oriented such that it is flush with a horizontal surface while the prybar has partially raised an object from the same or another horizontal surface.

A hammer has a head connected to a lightweight handle with a center of gravity that is proximate to the head of the hammer and separated from the base of the handle by 85%-95% of the total hammer length, measured from the base of the handle to the top side of the head. The handle weight is between 10%-20%. Accordingly, the lighter handle allows the center of gravity of the hammer to be within 85%-95% of the total hammer length from the base of the handle while maintaining a comfortable head weight between 14 oz. and 25 oz. The hammer also has inflection point proximate to the base of the handle providing multiple gripping sections to allow a user to grip the handle in different locations and at different gripping angles that move relative to the longitudinal axis of the hammer.

A spike setting tool with an improved ram-rod structure may feature a pronged fork at a distal end to hold spikes in place while the user actuates a ram-rod to set the spikes. A magnet may also be provided to aid in the picking up of spikes for setting in the fork.

The present invention discloses a handle, which comprises an inner core and a gripping portion disposed around the periphery of the inner core, and at least one chamber is formed between the inner core and the gripping portion. The present invention also discloses a hammering tool comprising the above handle. When the hammering tool provided in the present invention is used for striking, the internal damping slot of the hammerhead can use a damping material as a first buffering and absorb the vibration and impact force of the hammerhead, which are then delivered to the inner core of the handle, the inner damping layer and its chamber serve as a second buffering and absorb the vibration and impact force delivered from the inner core of the handle, and finally, the outer damping layer serves as a third buffering and absorbs the vibration and impact force delivered from the inner damping layer. The vibration and impact force felt by the hand of the user when in operation are dramatically decreased through these three buffering and damping structures.
