How to use a Hammer
It may seem silly to think you need to know how to use a hammer. But, it’s the standard ‘blunt
instrument’ so let's learn about hammers and using them safely.
Tips:
First and foremost, choose the right hammer for the job.
Grip the hammer firmly by its handle.
Keep your wrist straight and use your whole forearm to lift and drop the tool.
Let the hammer do most of the work, using its weight to drive the nail.
How to Hammer in a Nail:
Grasp the hammer with its claw facing upward. Don’t choke up on the handle.
Hold your wrist stiff.
Your arm should be raised at 90 degrees at the elbow.
Take a few practice swings.
Gently tap a nail into the wood at 90 degrees (perpendicular).
Raise the hammer as described above and strike it confidently.
Repeat the process, adding force and velocity with each swing, until the nail is completely driven
into the wood.
How to Use a Wrench
Always use good quality tools and inspect them for defects before using them.
Replace worn or defective tools.
Maintain your tools. Make sure that the teeth of a pipe wrench are clean and sharp. Worn or
greasy jaws are more likely to slip.
Check the pipe or fitting. Is it clean and oil-free? Slippage can cause you serious injury.
Be sure that the opening of the wrench is in full contact with the bolt or nut before you apply
pressure.
Pull, don't push, and use a slow, steady motion.
Don't stick a piece of pipe on the end of the wrench to improve leverage. It is not safe
Important Tips:
Keep your tools away from extreme heat, which can expand the metal and cause dangerous
structural problems.
Protect yourself from losing your balance if the wrench slips or a bolt breaks. Stand on a solid
surface with both feet planted firmly on the floor and don't lean in to the work.
Never use a wrench on moving machinery.
Keep it away from children.

The above is an extract from the ebook Handywoman's Home Repairs.
The author, Gloria Rae, is a woman and she writes this ebook for women. Listen to what else she
has to say about being a handywoman.
Women and home repair can mix!
In fact, if you take away the heavy or super-awkward movements, women can do a whole lot of
fixing.
You can have fun and save money, too.
It feels good and powerful to be able to do things for yourself.
I started learning how to fix things at a very young age. It seemed that, if I ever wanted anything
done when I wanted it done, I had to do it myself. You know how long you can wait, don't you?
Years ago, I was pregnant. My kitchen sink was broken and my husband kept saying he was going
to fix it. So, I'd haul the dishes to the bathtub with a dishpan. My back ached as you well can
imagine. It was awkward and it made me angry.
But, I had been raised that women were to listen to their husbands.
Times have changed and so have I. After several months and me (with a new born daughter and a
three year old) doing dishes with the dishpan in the bathtub, my husband fixed the sink in fifteen
minutes.
It took him fifteen minutes to fix a sink that I could not use for five months! I was livid.
And so, my journey began. I not only learned the skills that I needed, but I made a small business
out of painting apartment buildings, created an income and became independent.
You can learn how to do repairs too. Learn it from
