Drywall Hatchet - Drywall Hammer


Visit http://www.askthehardwareguy.com for more tips.
A drywall hammer does a great job of seating drywall nails without tearing through the paper.
The drywall hammer head has a wide bevel with indents. This allows you to create a nice dimple in the drywall and stipples the wallboard to hold joint compound better.
The first drywall hammers were designed to allow workers to cut out electrical holes with the axe end and score the drywall to be cut to length.  The hook  shape on the axe end was intended carry large pieces of drywall. There was also a nail puller cut into the axe.
