It's a fairly well made small detatchable soft face hammer. Got a brass face on one side and nylon on the other and if you have a small bench lathe you can make different or new faces for it very easily. http://www.pbase.com/dennygraham/image/149654029 Only $6, that's less than a lunch meal at McDonalds, right? I can see where this will come in handy on the bench when working on a carb or instruments or any other small job that requires a light nudge. Denny Graham Sandwich, IL

Here is another, perhaps smaller, hammer from HF. With the 20% coupon that is readily available, I'd buy two (for spare tips/faces). | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Yeah I've seen them and for four bucks it wouldn't hurt to have
a few, one for the bench in the basement, one for the bench in
the barn and a spare in the hammer drawer of the tool box. (I
like to cover all the bases you know!)
Dad left me in his tools, a little tiny ball peen hammer which I
use but it doesn't have a soft face.

Like I said, it's pretty well made for what it is and for the price.
And, a man can't have to many tools.

DG Denny, If they put that on a bumper sticker, I'd buy it. Well said & true. Would look good over the workbench too! Hank

the first place Hank. Been subscribing

Of course it could be kind of like the old timers used to say about an old tire with boots showing, "It will probably run a long time in the spare rack." | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 334 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 334 | In the early 70's I bought a hammer just like Denny's picture, but not from Harbor Freight, to use in my watch and jewelry repair work. I love it, and it's still holding up great - I've never even had to replace the brass or nylon head on it. Denny, if it's as good as mine, it'll last you till you're 100 or more.  Samantha | | |
