Disclosed are texture hammers and related methods for using the texture hammers to create textures on metallic materials without distorting the material. Such hammers may comprise having a handle and a hammer head with a first end and a second end. The first end may have an oval, square, inverted triangle, triangle, or any other shape, and may comprise indentations on the surface to create a texture. The second end may have a rectangular, triangle, or any other shape, and may also comprise indentations complementary to the indentations on the first end. The texture hammers may be used to create different textures by varying the angle the hammer strikes the material, dragging the hammer head across the surface of the material, or creating a texture border on the material.

A hammer for installing a gasket into a joint between two pipes, the hammer comprising two opposed substantially rectangular, non-square strike surfaces which are rotationally offset from one another by 90 degrees such that an appropriate substantially rectangular, non-square strike surface may be selected by the user and applied to a gasket by simply rotating the hammer in the user's hands without requiring the user to relocate around the gasket.

A rubber mallet includes a handle and a striking head. The striking head includes an outer body and an inner body within the outer body. The outer body defines a receiving space receiving the inner body. The outer and inner bodies are made of different materials.
