Wooden Hammer

The Wooden Hammer is the lowest tier of hammer available, just below the Copper Hammer.

It offers beginning players an easily obtainable means of removing background walls and shaping blocks, as players are not automatically given a hammer on character creation (except on Journey Mode, in which they are given an Iron Hammer), the way they are for the other essential construction tools (axe and pickaxe).

Trivia

 * It is the weakest tool in the game, having the lowest tool power and slowest use time, along with a range penalty of -1. It also has the lowest of any item in the game overall (especially with the Broken modifier), bested even by the infamous Copper Shortsword by a large margin (However, it does have more knockback than the Copper Shortsword).


 * It is one of the only tools made out of wood, the other being the Wooden Fishing Pole.
