Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

The purpose of a hammer is to strike or hit another tool or part. When choosing the right hammer for the job, it is important to keep in mind a few rules. Make sure the hammer is the right size. If a large object is hit with a small hammer, it can cause the hammer to spring back dangerously. If a small object is hit with a large hammer, it can damage the object. Always check that the hammer head is tightly on the handle. Also, check that the handle is free of oil and dry. Only use a steel hammer when maximum driving force is needed. Be sure to grasp the hammer's handle close to the end. Fingers should be underneath the handles with the thumb on the side or top, and hold the hammer so that its face and the object's surface are parallel.
