message: Need to add something on hammers with moving parts like jack-hammers.
Better to just make a link to the page War Hammer than add a whole section just for a sentence (Dec 2010)

Hope this helps.

message: This makes no sense: "High tech titanium heads are lighter and allow for longer handles, thus increasing velocity and delivering more energy with less arm fatigue than that of a steel head hammer of the same weight."
If the titanium hammer is lighter than the steel one, how can you compare its blows with those of a steel hammer of the same weight? Skyrocket654 03:11, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've made a small edit to the faulty sentence.  Further improvement might be made in another eight years? No-one would bother with the aerodynamics of the head, since air resistance is negligible for the speed of most hammers.  There might be some specialist mechanically-driven hammers that travel at high speed, but I doubt whether even these have streamlined heads because shape affects the result of the impact.

message: Dear Wizard191. 
I can appreciate that there may be some justifiable reason for removing entries in a particular article, but it would be really helpful (not to mention courteous) to at least leave the previous editor/contributor a note and reason for removing the edits. This applies to the Symbolic Hammers section and the External Links section.
Right now I am dumbfounded as to why you have done this, and I request that you refrain from doing so in the future without a decent explanation. Otherwise, your removal of information appears to be vandalism.

message: I believe this is the second time I have set the age of the oldest hammer. I have TWO references to refereed journals, both of which give the age as 2.6 million years NOT 2.4. 
Please do not change this unless you have a reference which shows mine are wrong.

thread_title:  Hammer age 

message: Does anyone know how many times that a hammer has been used as a musical instrument, either in antiquity or in modern times? (Hammered dulcimers don't count.) Two examples I have heard in modern times are Johnny Cash's version of "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer" from the album "At Folsom Prison" and the Indigo Girls song "[[Hammer and a Nail]". Anyone else know of any other examples? Anyone else know of earlier uses? Orville Eastland (talk) 14:10, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry if this seems like an unusual questions, but what is relevance of 'Blister' to this article? There is a picture of a blood blister, and a link to the blister article, but really... why? Yes, using tools can give you blisters, but it can also give you cramp, or a bruise if you smack your finger... etc.?
Figured I would ask the relevance before removing. Happy Anglo New Year and all that jazz 203.167.189.37 (talk) 23:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

message: This english article is way worse than the Dutch article, which has a table; see http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamer_(gereedschap) Can someone translate it and put the table on the english version ?

thread_title: Pink Floyd's Marching Hammers?

message: Law of the instrument makes mention of the Birmingham screwdriver as meaning "hammer" (as Birmingham screwdriver links to this article)--though within the former article, it links to Birmingham and screwdriver individually. However, here there is no mention of the Birmingham hammer. Talk:Birmingham screwdriver suggests interested parties to see Screwdriver#Handle for an explanation. Does anyone have any further explanation to add, and shouldn't the explanation be given here instead of at Screwdriver? D. F. Schmidt (talk) 21:54, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard it as "Scouse screwdriver" (an insult to Liverpool workmen).  Lazy carpenters on building sites have a habit of hammering hinge screws into soft wood, and maybe finding a screwdriver at the end to give a final turn, or forgetting and leaving the screws to loosen when the door is used.  The linking is not appropriate.  Where should the explanation be put?  Dbfirs 15:55, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I made some bold changes to the lead, but I'm not wedded to my work; revert at will. 
My impression of the article was that it was somehow overtaken with strife over hammer taxonomy, most of which was pushed downward out of the lead. 
Meanwhile, much else that the lead should properly summarize fell into neglect. I've touched on some of the physics and physiology as well as general desiderata, but a more concerted effort would be warranted. — MaxEnt 02:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bold changes to lead 

message: I came to the article to learn more about the physics behind hammers, and I wasn't necessarily disappointed because this article goes into a lot of detail about that. I'm not seeing very many citations across this entire article though, additionally the writing style doesn't seem consistent with the rest of Wikipedia: It feels conversational in some places and lacks structure elsewhere, even in the lead. Does anyone more experienced than me think it's a good idea to look into  for the Physics section in particular and possibly  for the rest of the article?
