Want to know more about dry wall axe.

OH, and this is not a drywall axe. A drywall axe is a special hammer with a hatchet style blade on one end, and a special rounded, crosshatched hammerhead on the other. It is used for nailing drywall. The cupped nail head had to be sunk just below the surface of the sheet rock. If the nail broke the paper, it was said to be Popped. If it above the surface, you would hear it from the tapers. In the old days I could hammer about 6 nails in 10 seconds. I don't even know if they use nails anymore.

Could you please show me a picture of the drywall axe that you have described?

I don't think they even use hammers or axes anymore, so I don't know if this would be a good gift. However, I still use mine for all kinds of things. They are fun to throw too. lol
