I. Choose a hammer according to its function
When deciding to buy a hammer , the first factor you need to consider is your intended use. A hammer for nailing or demolition will be very different from a hammer used for repairing fine art or carpentry. So you need to clearly define the purpose of using your hammer for the following jobs:
Hammer for hammering and pulling nails : this is probably the most common use of a hammer. This type of hammer is widely used and familiar to most people. The hammer has 2 heads: 1 flat head for hammering nails and 1 goat horn head to help pull nails out of the surface quickly and easily. Made of hard metal, this type of hammer is quite durable and can withstand good force when hammering or pulling nails out of hard surfaces.

Sledgehammer : This is a heavy hammer with a long handle. Sledgehammers are often large in size and used to demolish walls, plasterboard, etc. Suitable for heavy work in the construction industry, machinery repair industry, etc. Sledgehammers are not suitable for meticulous work.
Rubber hammer : This is a hammer with a rubber head, the hammer handle is usually made of wood. Rubber hammers are suitable for working with light, fragile, easily scratched materials such as wood or plastic. Rubber hammers are often used in handicrafts, tiling or construction...

Using a hammer for its intended purpose will help you get the job done quickly and easily. Using a hammer for the wrong purpose will damage the surface of the object or cause injury. Choose a hammer that is suitable for the function you want.
II. Choose a hammer according to the handle
When choosing a hammer, the hammer handle is an important factor to consider to ensure comfort and safety during use.
Wood : Wooden hammer handles are generally light and easy to handle, and are also relatively durable. However, if used improperly, wooden hammer handles can break or swell.

Plastic : Plastic hammer handles are often very lightweight and can be more comfortable to use. They are also resistant to wear and corrosion. However, plastic hammer handles may not be strong enough to handle heavy-duty applications.

Metal: Metal hammer handles are usually durable and can withstand the demands of heavy work. They also give you better control and the weight of the hammer provides better support for the user. However, metal hammer handles are often heavy and uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. Prolonged use can cause hand pain or blisters.

III. Note the weight and length of the hammer
Swinging a hammer is quite easy, but after a significant number of swings, the weight of the hammer can tire your hand. Therefore, a hammer with a moderate weight will help you work more durably.
The hammer swing mechanism is that when the user swings the hammer in an arc, the hammer head reaches the top of the arc and the hammer weight pulls the hammer down, increasing the impact force. This force is increased by increasing the length of the hammer handle and increasing the weight of the hammer head. However, the longer the hammer handle and the greater the hammer head weight, the less controllable the hammer is.
To choose the best hammer, you should choose a hammer with a balanced length and weight. A hammer weighing from 0.3-0.9 kg is suitable for operating with enough force and safety.
