Summary: Striking and shaping materials.

Hammers are striking tools used for a variety of tasks, and the phrase "various types" is key because they are designed with specific shapes, weights, and materials for different applications. Common examples include:

    Claw hammers: Have a flat face for striking and a curved claw for pulling nails, primarily used in woodworking.

    Ball-peen hammers: Have a flat face and a rounded (ball peen) end for shaping metal.

    Sledgehammers: Large, heavy hammers used for demolition and heavy-duty striking.

    Rubber mallets: Have a rubber head for striking without damaging the workpiece.
