An asphalt paver hammer is a type of hammer designed for laying flagstone or paving (pavers). It can be used for flattening, flattening, or smoothing. There are sledgehammers and hammers, as well as hammers. All three tools are designed to affect the surface. But what's the difference?
Sledgehammers, mallets and hammers…
The traditional metal mallet is used to drive nails into objects, pull nails out of objects, join parts or break objects, shape metal and anything else that requires hammering! A hammer is a general purpose tool that is an essential part of any toolbox.
However, sledgehammers and hammers have a more specific function when applying force to an object, namely to transfer force without damaging the object. Both have large soft heads compared to metal hammers, allowing for a less damaging impact but with a positive impact. drive. In the picture, a paver's hammer is being used to level paving stones. It will hit the paver hard, but it won't leave marks on the surface.
The difference between hammer and hammer is minimal, but mostly in the shape of the head as well as its size. Some hammers have a flat striking surface, while the hammer has a curved surface that distributes the blow more evenly.
The hammer can also be found in a range of heavier weights and with longer handles than the hammer. The term mallet is used interchangeably with hammer and their distinction can become blurred. Don't get too carried away with this. A hammer can be called a hammer and vice versa.
