Types of hammers:

A hammer is a tool that delivers a blow (a sudden impact) to an object.Most hammers are hand tools used to drive nails ,fit parts,forge metal,and break apart objects.Hammers vary in shape,size,and structure,depending on their purpose.

Hammers are basic tools in many trades.The usual features are a head(most often made of steel) and a handle(also called a helve or haft).Most hammers are hand tools,but there are also many powered versions,called power hammers (such as steam hammers and trip hammers) for heavier uses such as forging.

These are some basic hammers which are used in every day life.

Types of spanners:

There are many types of spanners.The most common are the ring spanner,Open end spanner,the combination spanner.the spanner will only do job properly if its the right size for the nut or the bolt to be turned.
The size used to describe a spanner is the distance across the flats of the nuts or bolts to be turned.There are two system in common use,metric ,in millimeters,and imperial,in inches.each of the system has a range of spanner especially made for each one.
These are some of the spanners shown in images.
