What is the outcome of striking files with a hammer?

Striking files with a hammer, typically refers to the process of using a hammer to strike the tang of a file to make it easier to hold or manipulate. This action may require extra pressure, as the striking motion can create vibrations or disturbances that make it harder to stabilize the file without applying additional force.

Using a hammer to strike a file doesn't inherently increase durability, improve grip, or destroy the file, but it can necessitate using extra pressure to ensure an effective hold or to align the file correctly for use. Understanding the dynamics of how force and pressure are applied when working with files can help ensure safe and effective usage.
