Hammers for Construction & Site Work
Different hammer types are designed for different tasks. Claw hammers are suited to general fixing and nail work, while brick and chipping hammers are intended for masonry-related applications. Club hammers provide a compact, heavier striking option for use with chisels and bolsters, while sledge hammers are designed for more demanding breaking and demolition work.
CID stocks hammer tools with a choice of handle materials and head weights, allowing contractors to select an option appropriate to the job.
Types of Hammers
Claw Hammers
Claw hammers are a versatile choice for general construction and fixing work. They can be used for driving nails and fixings, while the claw allows nails to be removed when required.
We stock 16oz claw hammers with both fibreglass and wooden handles for general site use.
Brick Hammers
Brick hammers are designed for masonry work where controlled striking, shaping or breaking of brick is required.
CID's 16oz brick hammer has a steel handle and a head with a striking face and chisel blade, making it suitable for brickwork and other masonry tasks where control is more important than the force of a heavier striking hammer.
Club Hammers
Club hammers provide a compact but heavier striking option for construction and masonry work. They are particularly suited to use with cold chisels and brick bolsters where greater impact is required. We stock 40oz and 64oz club hammers with both wooden and fibreglass handles.
For related striking and cutting work, you can browse our chisels range.
Sledge Hammers
Sledge hammers are designed for heavy striking and demolition tasks where greater impact is required.
CID stocks 7lb and 14lb sledge hammers with wooden and fibreglass handles for demanding construction and breaking applications.
Chipping Hammers
Chipping hammers are used for breaking and removing hard materials such as brick, concrete, stone and tiles. Our wooden-handled chipping hammers provide a dedicated option for masonry and surface-breaking work.
For paving, kerb laying and other applications where a softer striking face is required, you can browse our mallets & mauls range.
Selecting a Hammer for the Job
The job being carried out is usually the simplest way to identify the most suitable hammer:
- General fixing and nail work: claw hammer
- Brick and masonry work: brick hammer
- Chiselling and bolster work: club hammer
- Breaking brick, concrete, stone or tiles: chipping hammer
- Heavy striking and demolition: sledge hammer
Head weight is also important. Lighter hammers generally offer more control for precise work, whereas heavier club and sledge hammers provide greater striking force for more demanding applications.
