Primary Hammer - Framing |

Used for all of the framing and sheeting. |

Flat Milled Face

Most of the time, air powered
roofing nailers are used and these have little use. But just
in case, its a good choice.

A
special note about hammers.
Many groups bring inexpensive, light weight
hammers. Will the cheap hammers work? Sure, but not nearly as well
as a hammer designed for the job. Building
these houses requires framing, drywall and roofing. I have illustrated the basic differences in the three types of hammers. If
you have one of these types, they will make your work much more fun, easier and faster.
