Slate hammers are the tool of a roofer. Because they are not only intended for hammering nails, but are mainly used for chopping the natural material. This work requires not only a high level of skill, but also some experience and of course the right tool.
Also the slate hammer is available in different sizes and can be purchased for right and left-handers. The tools have different handles, the most common being the leather handle. The cutting edge, head and tip must be hardened particularly well in order to be able to oppose the solid material shale suitable resistance. Small and large designs are to be used for coarse and filigree work, as the patterns and works of art, which are partly made of slate, do not allow a too bulky tool.
