Monolithic hammers

Monolithic construction

— the monolithic design means that the entire base of the hammer is made in the form of a single piece, its head and handle are one piece (without lining). This increases strength and reliability — one of the weakest points is just the junction, and in principle it is absent in such tools.

Among the monolithic models, two varieties can be distinguished. The first is all-steel hammers, mainly carpentry, roofing and masons, as well as some light sledgehammers (see ″Type″). The second - mallets and straightening hammers, completely covered with a rubber sheath; the rigid “filling” of the base in them is not necessarily monolithic, but this is not important in this case.
