HAMMERS, PUNCHES AND CHISELS
The world's !rst hand tools!
We can say with certainty that the hammer was the world's "rst tool. Nowadays, every single one of us uses it – from the housewife to the mechanic.
Despite hidden developments, progress is nevertheless noticeable in the area of hammering tools. Today, there are di!erent designs, with di!erent
characteristics, for the various possible types of work. The use is the same, but shape, weight and characteristics somewhat di!er. Also today, the
development of hammers has moved towards very specialised forms for special purposes, such as hammers made from plastics, hammers with a very
precise weight, dead blow hammers and the like. It is continuous and comprehensive development dictated by needs and market developments.
