There are very few DIY jobs which will not require the use of a hammer at some point. It is good to have a variety of hammers in your toolbox (Ball Pein, Club Hammer, etc), but if you have to choose only one to start with, go for a decent medium-weight Claw Hammer. Probably the most common hammertype, the claw hammer is a good general hammer, being versatile and of medium weight. The "claw" is usually curved and split for prying out nails. The claw can also be used as a lever for jobs such as lifting floorboards. Claw hammers are available in a variety of weights, from 450g to 680g, and with a variety of handles.
