The Ancestor of Hammers - Stone Hammers of Ancient Humans
Entering the Bronze Age of mankind, the hammer has ushered in another critical "upgrade". In addition to the bronze metal material, there is also a hole on the hammer head, which is called "hole" (pronounced poor with the same pronunciation) in China. It is very easy to fix a wooden stick by inserting it into it. This design can be seen on many tools and weapons, and has been used up to now.
Stone Hammer and Axe in the Early Bronze Age
Bronze needs to be hammered repeatedly to be strong and durable, so hammers and forging also have an indissoluble bond. Later, iron and steel gradually replaced bronze as the first choice of the best material for hammer heads. The hammer is also an indispensable tool in production tools and one of the effective blunt tools in the war years. At this time, the shape of the hammer is very close to the iron hammer we see in reality.
After thousands of years of development and upgrading, hammers have formed a huge family. In addition to metal hammers, there are also special hammers made of wood, rubber and other materials, which play an important role in daily life and all walks of life.
In order to cope with the different uses, hammers have also derived different hammers, among which the claw hammer was the most sophisticated and popular before.
