TRIMMER’S HAMMER
WELDER’S HAMMER
The trimmer’s hammer has a round flat face on one end
of the head and has a tapered chisel face on the other
end. A claw is attached on the end of the handle and is
used for pulling tacks. It is used for installing tacks and
brads.
The welder’s hammer has one or two tapered chisel
faces. Those having only one tapered face have a
replaceable brush attached. The hammer face is used
for chipping welds, while the brush is used for cleaning
welds and brushing away the slag chipped from the
weld.
