Abstract: A shock absorbing hammer, comprising an elongated shaft (2) and a hammer head (1). An end portion (2a) of the shaft is obliquely oriented in a somewhat wider recess (6) in the hammer head (1) so as to permit a limited pivotal movement in one angular direction, the movement being damped by a shock absorbing material in said recess.
Abstract: A hammer, preferably a workshop hammer including a head and an adjoining handle. The head is provided with at least one impact surface and a cavity which is at least partly filled with particulate material so as to dampen the recoil of the hammer. The hammer reduces recoil, rotation, and vibration of the hammer whereby an ergonomic hammer is obtained. The hammer is provided with a rigid longitudinally extending element in the handle and a counterweight at a free end thereof.
