The Club Hammer is a short, heavy-headed hammer built for striking chisels and breaking stone. It is a one-handed weapon that trains the Short Blunt skill. It hits as hard as a Claw Hammer and holds up well between repairs. Its tooltip says it is too unwieldy to drive nails, so building calls for a different hammer.
It earns its place in stonework and metalwork. It breaks large stones, chisels stone tool heads and works the iron bloom at a forge. The Club Hammer is found in factories, garages, morgues, coroner offices and carpenter workshops. It can also be assembled from a Club Hammer Head and a Medium Handle. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for short blunt. It starts with the most Short Blunt skill. The Blacksmith and the Carpenter also start with some Short Blunt skill.
Combat
The Club Hammer swings at normal speed and reaches about one tile. Each hit deals fair damage for a small weapon, so an ordinary zombie takes a few swings. The critical chance is 20 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
It lasts well, losing a point on about 1 hit in 25 at low skill. Higher Short Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. Against the Claw Hammer it is heavier, reaches a touch less and crits for less. That makes the Claw Hammer the better weapon of the two. The Club Hammer suits a backup weapon for a survivor who already carries it for stonework.
Uses
The Club Hammer breaks a Large Stone into ten Stones. With Masonry 6 it chisels a Large Stone Axe Head. Masonry 7 lets it chisel a Stone Maul Head, and Masonry 8 a Stone Mace Head. At a forge it extracts Iron Chunks from a bloom and pierces ingots. With Carpentry 4 it drives railspikes into a Baseball Bat, and with Carpentry 6 into a cudgel. It also assembles and dismantles tool heads and handles, and it can kill a trapped animal.

Repair
The Club Hammer has 10 condition. At low skill it loses a point on about 1 hit in 25. The Short Blunt skill and the Maintenance skill both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, wood glue needs Carpentry 2, and epoxy needs Maintenance 3. Epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. Each repair restores less condition than the one before. Dismantling a broken Club Hammer returns its head for a fresh Medium Handle.
