Hammers are a probably the one tool in the toolbox that people have the most difficulty using. It takes much practice and great patience to use a hammer properly but once learned this can be an invaluable skill. The key thing to remember when using a hammer is this: hit the nail, not your hand. Hold the hammer on the long end near the bottom so that you have sufficient control of the hammer and also sufficient force to hit the nail. Continue hammering until the nail is where you want it. Take your time and don't rush. Always remember that safety is key when using a tool as dangerous as a hammer. By staying calm and relaxed I guarantee you can master the hammer and be on your way to building houses in no time!
As long as you're getting a hammer anyway, why not get one that can do two jobs like this Beer Hammer? Construction and drinking never looked so good!
