Trivia

In real life, Hammers are served for delivering a blow to an object. While purposes are varied, in general they are served as the basic tools for driving nails, forge metal, break apart objects, and so on.
- Claw Hammers are used for pounding in or extracting nails. They are recognizable for its claw-shaped head appearance.
- Club Hammers are used for light demolition work, driving masonry nails, and for use with a steel chisel when cutting through stone or metal.
- Machinist's Hammer (known as the Plain Hammer in-game) are used for metalworking.
- Stonemason's Hammer (known as the Brick Hammer in-game) are used for chipping off edges or pieces of stone, cutting brick or a concrete masonry unit, and for rapidly cut bricks or cinder blocks. They are notable for their flat traditional side and a chisel-shaped bladed end.
