The chisel-tip rock hammer is used mainly by geologists who are working in areas underlain by sedimentary rocks and sediments. Names given to this hammer include: Mason's hammer, bricklayer's hammer, soft rock hammer and chisel-tip hammer. The flat end of this hammer is used for breaking rocks and light chisel work. The chisel end is used for splitting the layers of sedimentary rocks, trimming rocks and digging in soils and sediments. These hammers are used by geologists, fossil-hunters and a number of professions who break sedimentary rocks or masonry materials. The head and handle are forged from a single piece of steel and the soft grip is designed to be comfortable in your hand and to reduce the vibrations of impact. Always wear eye-protection when using these tools. |
