Wikipedia
Claw hammer
A claw hammer is a hammer primarily used in carpentry for driving nails into or pulling them from wood. Historically, a claw hammer has been associated with woodworking, but is also used in general applications. It is not suitable for heavy hammering on metal surfaces (such as in machining work), as the steel of its head is somewhat brittle; the ball-peen hammer is more suitable for such metalwork. An early claw hammer is seen in Albrecht Dürer's etching "Melencolia I," dated 1514, halfway up the left side. There are several nails in the lower right corner.

claw hammer
A claw hammer is a tool commonly used in carpentry and other construction work, which typically consists of a handle and a head. It has two main features - one side of the head is flat and used for pounding nails into an object or surface, while the other side, often referred to as the claw, is a forked, curved end used for pulling nails out. This dual function makes it a versatile tool in construction and repair works.
