Probably at end of life, anyway. It's probably for the best it broke while trying to pull a nail out, rather than have the head come flying off while you were swinging it.
Thats a clear illustration of one of Man Rules - if it doesn't move, force it. If it breaks, needing replacing anyway . . .
What you do when pulling nails is insert a pipe over the hammer head (opposite end of claw) and use both the handle and pipe to pull out nail. Less strain on handle.
Sorry about breakage but from appearance of wood, it does like it was just a matter of time.

Angel - it's called a "hammer" not a "puller" for a reason.
Abusing one's tools is not a good idea.
temper, temper, temper...
Ranger, hon, if they didn't want you to pull nails with it, they wouldn't put a claw on it.
(1) crowbar with nail puller (2) 2lb sledge hammer. Like Pop used to say "never force anything-get a bigger hammer" ----Ray
I always thought the claw was for skull crackin'
No tool catastrophe is considered complete without creative swearing, and questioning the parentage of said tools maker.

That's nothing...I broke two METAL-SHAFTED hammers. In a row.
(Of course, the shafts were hollowed out to the thickness of Obama's scruples. Cheap Chinese pieces of shit...!)
