<\/span><\/h2>\nA chisel \u2013 particularly one with a metal strike plate on the butt \u2013 makes an excellent makeshift hammer when a real hammer is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
![\"driving](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/driving-nail-with-chisel.jpg?resize=800%2C558&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
Starting the nail is fairly easy, as you can grip the nail and strike it precisely with the metal butt. Once it\u2019s started, actually driving the nail is a little more difficult than with the rock, as the chisel doesn\u2019t have that hefty weight behind it.<\/p>\n
The nail took 15 or so strikes to actually drive into place, so it\u2019s not a great option if you have multiple nails to drive, but it gets the job done when you\u2019re in a pinch.<\/p>\n
Score: 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span>Option 3: Axe or Hatchet<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nAn axe or hatchet with a blunt end is a fantastic tool for driving nails and is really close to using an actual hammer.<\/p>\n
![\"driving](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/driving-nail-with-axe.jpg?resize=800%2C555&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
Use the blunt end as you would with a hammer. When you\u2019re doing this, you\u2019ll want to be cautious with the sharp end of the axe so as not to stab yourself.<\/p>\n
If you have an axe or hatchet with a fat blunt end, then I\u2019d recommend using it over any other option, as you can drive nails with relative ease.<\/p>\n
Score: 9\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span>Option 3: Prybar<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nA prybar \u2013 especially one with straight, flat sides, can also work as a hammer in a pinch.<\/p>\n
This method worked fairly well, although the nail did start to twist and bend once I got about a quarter of the way through driving the nail. I was able to twist it back into place and drive the nail, but I could see this being awkward and difficult if you have multiple nails you need to drive.<\/p>\n
Score: 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span>Option 4: Large Wrench<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nA medium to large-sized wrench makes a surprisingly good hammer when you need to drive a few nails.<\/p>\n
![\"driving](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/driving-nail-with-wrench.jpg?resize=800%2C563&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
I actually didn\u2019t expect this tool to be that effective of a hammer, as it\u2019s fairly lightweight, but it worked surprisingly well. Strike the nail with the bottom of the wrench head until you\u2019ve driven your nail all the way in.<\/p>\n
If you have smaller nails to drive, then a decent wrench makes a solid option and provides you with a good deal of accuracy.<\/p>\n
