For the sport, see Hammer throw; for the bone, see malleus. For other uses see Hammer (disambiguation).

A hammer is a tool meant to deliver blows to a target, causing it to move or deform. The most common uses are for driving nails, fitting parts, and breaking up objects. Hammers are often designed for a specific purpose, and so their design varies quite a lot. Usual features are a handle and a head, with most of the weight in the head. The basic design is hand-operated, but there are also many mechanically operated models for heavier uses.

The hammer is a basic tool of many professions, and can also be used as weapon. Either way, it is perhaps the oldest human tool, perhaps even older than the earliest Homo species.
