What kind of simple machine is a claw hammer?
A claw hammer is a pair of levers perpendicular to each other. When you exert force on the handle of the hammer, it transfers it's work to the second lever, or the head of the hammer. That then creates work at the claw, where you are pulling that nail with much greater force than you could exert without the hammer.
