How to use hammer in a sentence?

1. Glenn Tew:

   The bottom is a little messed up, but I expect I can hammer it back down.

2. Matthew Stover:

   It is a truism that when one is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The glory of art is that it can show this proverbial hammer how everything looks to a screwdriver--and to a plowshare, and to an earthenware pot. If reality is the sum of our perceptions, to acquire more varying points of view is to acquire, literally, more reality.

3. Matthew Stover:

   There are some who say that Time is itself a hammer; that each slow second marks another tap that makes big rocks into little rocks, waterfalls into canyons, cliffs into beaches. There are some who say that Time is instead a blade. They see the dance of its razored tip, poised like a venomous snake, forever ready to slay faster than the eye can see. And there are some who say that Time is both hammer and blade. They say the hammer is a sculptor's mallet, and the blade is a sculptor's chisel: that each stroke is a refinement, a perfecting, a discovery of truth and beauty within what would otherwise be blank and lifeless stone. And I name this saying wisdom.

5. Todd Landen:

   It wasn't my choice to leave -- I didn't leave on my terms, but when he gets elected, I hope he will drop the hammer on the enemy, get us out of there, and take care of us afterwards.
