DescriptionA ship maul hammer with a round face and a chamfered neck, oval eye, and heavy tapering pin at the other end. The face is used for driving tree nails and spikes (large nails). If there is trimming to be done, the maul is turned and the spike can be driven below the surface of the wood with the pin. The maul is also used for general purposes.
