Question

Is there an alternative to using a hammer?

Answer 1

a rock will do in a pinch

Answer 2

I like to use larger rocks and bottoms of cans when I can't find a hammer, or I'm too lazy to get it. My husband hates it. lol.  I'm sure, if you're looking, you can find something. Flat, and sort of heavy, that won't break or hurt you on impact.

Answer 3

nail guns, screws with screwguns, or palm nailers

Answer 4

Yup,nail guns.

Good Luck

Answer 5

h**l yeah-try the Kentucky Speed Hammer. The flat side of a wrench or anything else with a blunt flat surface.  

Answer 6

Yes, you could also use any other thing in the world and do it completely wrong!

Answer 7

There are nail guns but you would three or four different type to do the jobs you need.  Unless you are planning to go in the home building business then I would recommend the nail guns for sure.

The hammer is sometimes needed even if you have nail guns.

The hammer, and there are different types depending on the task you need to do, has been around a long time and it is the most popular tool you need more often.

Answer 8

a shoe

Answer 9

any steel tool or bar would work on most applications but hammers are great for nails.

Answer 10

Depends on what you need a hammer for.  I once used a heavy

flashlight when I needed a hammer and didn't have one.  I've also used a shoe with a sturdy sole, and  the flat edge of a wrench when I was hanging pictures.

Good Luck!
