Abstract
A hammer includes a handle, a head assembly affixed to the handle, and a claw assembly slidably disposed on the handle. The handle includes apertures interspaced linearly along the length of the handle. The head assembly includes a throat and a striking face. The claw assembly includes a claw, an annular sleeve slidably disposed around the handle for enabling linear adjustment of the claw assembly along the length of the handle, and a ratcheting lever coupled to the sleeve for adjusting the position of the claw relative to the head assembly during operation. The ratcheting lever includes a spring-biased locking pin for removably engaging any one of the apertures to selectively secure the claw assembly to the handle in a desired position and a depressible release arm for releasing the spring-biased locking pin from the apertures to enable the claw assembly to slide along the length of the handle.
