roofing hammer?

Yup roofing, you can split the wooden shingle and then nail it down.

And I think, pull nails with the notch.

A good carpenter never has to pull a nail.

yep

With that rounded head I would say old timers used to use it for sheetrock. The blade was used to score it.

Boot and shoe makers and shoe repairing hammer has those round large heads. I got some from grandfather who built boots and repaired shoes.

I'd say a wood shingle/shake hammer.

well, we got it narrowed down to a bunch of stuff...

That’s easy; that’s a Savell Smacker

Best one yet.

Looks more like a drywall hammer to me.

drywall hammer, the convex head dimples down the nail.....I don't know anyone that uses them anymore....more of a tool when the old timers used rock lathe

It's definitely a sheetrock hammer but I've seen them used in the roofing trades also
And I've seen roofing hammers used in the drywall trades

20scout is correct.

That notch is for pulling nails. Looked like a shingle hatchet/hammer to me. For cedar shakes. Hatchet to split the wood shingles to fit on ends of runs. Hammer for the nails.
Jim

Clearly it is a hatchahammer

I'm guessing they were origianally shingle hammers that were then adopted by sheet-rockers. Gypsum board is a fairly recent invention.

X2 yup they just bend them over !

Drywall I used one for 30 years when I was younger

I might be wrong, but I believe it was used pre sheet rock

Cedar shingles

i would say its a drywall hammer by the head looks like the newer ones a roofing hammer would look more like an hatchet

drywall hammer, my Dad was a drywall contractor from the '60's to the 90's, grew up around that stuff.
I have spent many a hour putting the stuff up, taping, finishing, cleaning up after rocking and helping my Dad spray the finished jobs.

Personally I'll be glad if I never have to touch a piece of sheetrock the rest of my life.

Drywall made it on the scene in the '40's and '50's.

Ask Pelosies husband.

Clearly for castrating pigs you idiots.

Correct,the roofing hammer has a removable/ replacement blade accessory on it for cutting shingles and I have one of each somewhere

Drywall hammer. Roofing hatchets have a heavier head and a longer, thinner blade. And usually a "height" gauge on it. The blade on this hammer is used for leverage to lift the bottom sheet off the floor.

ADC that was obvious to you and me, what’s wrong with these pilgrims?

That's ejits you nimrod.

Didn't you learn anything from Boco??

Yes Indeed doubt theres many who use hammers on drywall anymore

This is actually a two in one pig castrater. The hammer looking part is used as a local anesthesia device and the other end is the rapid removal device.

Sheesh, even Stevie Wonder could see that!

Early American birth control device.

Noice!

This is correct.

These types of drywall hammers may have been used by roofers but they are specifically designed for installation of the old style gypsum board of the 40's and 50's.

One on top is for roofing. Holes are for measuring overlap and square head. Lower is drywall round head

I believe it's originally a box hatchet but also used for wood lath / drywall. Depending on where you live and what's available! Pre Amazon...LOL

https://www.facebook.com/reel/943734771208968 I'd say this guy knew how to use them.

That guy doesn't look anything like the rockers you see nowadays

And not even a sweat or messed up hair.

Heck I didn't know Mr Rogers was a sheetrocker! Nowdays Mexicans come stock the house one day and hang the whole house the next day, finish it the next. I love Mexicans the more I see them. Great mechanics and body repairs too.

I remember the times when there were 5 guys waiting for you to screw up and take your job! That was a lifetime ago! The union halls were empty. I worked on concrete bridges on the I5 in California.

I hope the handouts are coming to an end and hunger drives the workers again!

They still won't work. They'll burn Teslas, buildings, and police cars.
