You can find tools like a breaker hammer on many different websites such as Amazon or the Eaton website. You will find a variety of different tools to buy.
The correct name for a hammer handle is typically referred to as a "haft" or "helve".
No, the hammer does not change the direction of the force. The force exerted by the hammer is directed along its handle towards the point of impact, typically perpendicular to the surface being struck.

No, they will not fit. You can use Westinghouse, Cutler Hammer BR series, and Connecticut Electrical UBITBC series breaker. All of those will fit.
If you don't have a Westinghouse breaker, you should use a breaker that is compatible with your electrical panel. Consult the panel's specifications or a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate replacement breaker for your specific panel. Using an incompatible breaker can be dangerous and may violate electrical codes.
The key to breaker compatibility is if it fits correctly into the buss bars in the electric panel.
A hammer does not multiply force, but it allows you to apply force more effectively in a specific direction, typically to drive a nail into a surface. The handle of the hammer acts as a lever to increase the speed and force at the head of the hammer.
change the direction of force,because it exerted the force on it.
