Given equal materials, the grain structure in forged tools makes them both tougher and stronger. A good forged hammer is, of course, also heat-treated and locally drawn. If it's a hammer for driving nails, the drawing is deeper on the outside edge of the face. Most other high-quality hammers, but not all, are drawn in a similar way.
