vasaripõhjad

Vasaripõhjad refers to the base of the hammer's head, specifically the striking face or peen. This part of the hammer is designed for impact and is crucial for its function. The shape and size of the vasaripõhjad vary depending on the type of hammer and its intended use. For instance, a claw hammer used for driving nails will have a flat, broad striking face, while a ball-peen hammer, used in metalworking, will feature a rounded peen for shaping metal. The material of the vasaripõhjad is typically hardened steel to withstand repeated blows. Wear and tear on the vasaripõhjad can affect the hammer's effectiveness and safety, necessitating maintenance or replacement of the hammer head. The term is commonly used in Estonian contexts related to tools and craftsmanship.
