DRIVE NAILS

Using a hammer to drive in nails – as well as for many other jobs – is certainly do-able with low vision or no vision. Some people imagine bruised or broken fingers that result from hammering, but this is not the case; in fact, many persons who are blind or have limited vision use a hammer in many ways.

This guide will focus on using a hammer to drive in nails, but a hammer can be used for many other tasks, such as tapping a wood chisel or breaking up cement. As with any home repair or woodworking project, it is important to follow good safety practices and to select the correct hammer and nails for the job.
