However, the hammer was not called the hammer before, but “melon” or “bone duo”, because the head of the hammer resembles a melon or a thorn ball. In ancient times, people used hammers as weapons.

The claw hammer is the most used in our daily life. It is said that it was invented in ancient Rome, while the modern claw hammer was improved by the Germans. As the name suggests, the claw hammer got its name because the one end of the hammer has a V-shaped opening, like the horn of a goat. The function of claw hammer is that one end can knock a nail, and the other end can drive a nail. The hammer is used for both purposes. The V-shaped opening drives a nail using the lever principle, which is a kind of labor-saving lever.
