Slightly different things I believe actually.
Like a framing vs finishing hammer.
Framing hammer gives more "grip" when striking a nail.
Finishing hammer won't mess up a delicate surface when struck.
They both drive a nail but used at different times. Could you just use one hammer? Sure, but it is harder to drive in large nails with a finishing hammer and a framing hammer will mess up your trim. You'll mess up your finishing hammer if you strike framing nails with a finishing hammer.
A flat iron or a hairstyling iron is a specific tool to straighten hair
A "hair straightener" could be a flat hairstyling iron but it could also be something that doesn't "iron" to straighten. It encompasses more.
The last nail I hammered in was hammered in with a rock.
