Abstract
A hammer with a nonmagnetic handle has a head on one end of the handle and a magnet permanently embedded in a lower end portion of the handle opposite the head. The magnet is disposed in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The magnet has an outer end disposed on the surface of the handle so that a nail will be held perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle and it can be lightly tapped into a work surface by a person gripping the hammer proximate its head.
