Jackhammer, a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel; Nail gun, a form of hammer used to drive nails into wood or other materials; Pneumatic hammer (forging), a pneumatically driven forging hammer; Rivet gun, an air-power hammer that uses pneumatics to drive the hammer
