The present invention is a manual nailing tool configured to provide a user with improved functional advantages over prior art hammers. It manually drives a substantial or predetermined amount of a fastener, such as an 8.89 cm (3 inch) common nail, into a work piece with one hand using one striking action. The unique configuration of the integrally formed nail-starter and angled strike face closely combines the nail-starter function with a full force, sustained first strike on the nail head. The hammer is also configured with a unique head shape and strike face to improve striking power and facilitate a stronger and more direct impact force on the nail head.

A forged hammer head formed in a forging process comprises a forged hammer face at one end of the head; a forged hammer claw at an end of the head opposite the face; and a forged side nail puller disposed between the face and the claw. A method for forming a hammer head comprises sequentially placing a blank in a series of cooperating forging dies, and sequentially shaping the blank in the forging dies into a hammer head, a hammer claw, a hammer face and a side nail puller disposed between the face and the claw. The side nail puller is configured to engage and pull a nail from a workpiece. The side nail puller comprises a side wall and a notch formed in the side wall. A tool parting line of the forging process does not intersect the notch.

A hammering tool with damping structure includes a strike member, a handle, a spacing member, and a handle sleeve. The handle is connected with the strike member and has a shock damping structure disposed on one side thereof, such that the handle has a non-smooth outer periphery. The spacing member is detachably connected with the handle corresponding to the shock damping structure, with a gap formed between the spacing member and the shock damping structure. The handle sleeve is mounted around the handle and the spacing member, and the handle sleeve is fittingly attached to the spacing member.

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.

The hammer has a head and a handle which extends from the head. The head has at least two surfaces that face towards the handle and that lie in a common first plane. At least a portion of the handle extends linearly and perpendicularly from the first plane to allow a user to draw a straight line which is perpendicular to the first plane.

A hammer and hammer head assembly therefor includes a head body extending lengthwise along a first axis between opposite first and second ends, generally transversely to a handle axis of a handle attached to the head body, with an insert releasably fixed to the head body by a key, wherein the insert defines a striking face and the key has a fastener bore extending in non-parallel relation with the first axis, and a fastener removably disposed in the fastener bore to releasably fix the insert against removal from the head body.

A tool, such as a hammer including a handle configured to be replaceable is shown. In one embodiment, the handle includes a grip insert coupled to the shaft of the hammer and an outer grip surrounding the grip insert. In another embodiment, the hammer includes a shaft with a pair of opposing channels. The handle includes a grip insert with a pair of corresponding projections to couple to the pair of opposing channels and an outer grip surrounding the grip insert.

A striking tool head assembly is detachably connected to a handle. The assembly includes multiple components, including a head body having an open-ended internal cavity configured to receive an end of the handle therein and a striking portion extending from the head body. A striking member is detachably connected to a free end of the striking portion. A claw member is detachably connected to an upper surface of the head body. The claw member defines spaced-apart first and second elongated claw portions.
