Lump Hammer
Also known as a club hammer. A short heavy two faced hammer used with heavy short strokes when working with cold chisels and the like.



an estwing lump hammer

Used for general not too precise work these short handled and heavy hammers are great for use with cold chisels and bolsters. The photograph above is of A Swedish made Estwing. If there is sweeter and a better balanced hammer made then I have yet to see it.

In the group above, next to the Estwing are two other club hammers. One has a fibreglass handle that is slightly longer than the others. Next to it is a wooden handled one that is cheap and capable enough.
