Carpenter's Hammer?
Okay I was helping my friend frame out a new addition to his house, and I grabbed one of his hammers and it had a cleft about an inch or two below the head above the handle. I was curious as to what that was for. I have never seen that on a hammer before.
By cleft I mean like a nub, it almost looks like a triangular like piece. It's under the head. ( I am not talking about the claw to pry nails out of the wood either by the way. It is on the opposite side of hammer than that.)
And for the person who gave the other answer you got a picture of this hammer too, so I can see if we are talking about the same thing.
Could you be a little more descriptive? I'm a carpenter, and have seen may different hammers. I don't know what you mean by a cleft though. Do you know what brand it was? More info will help. Thanks.
EDIT: If you are talking about a notch on TOP of the head, like the link shows, then beachedcelt has it exactly right. You put a nail in the notch, which is also magnetic to keep it there, set the nail with a sharp blow, then drive it home. Some people swear by it, but I prefer to hold mine the old fashioned way. You learn after a few hits to not smash your fingers. Hope this helps.
