    Engineers hammer- type small

    I saw Rossbotic's nice brass hammer so I thought folks would like to see hammers I make using knurled pin punches for the handles. I use hex bar for the heads which are drilled to take replaceable ends which can be of brass, aloominoom ( wood or some sort of nylon/plastic stuff.... The pin punches are of course hard at the ends so I used my mini tool post grinder to grind a slight taper then used a hydraulic press to squeeze them together-seems to be a permanent marriage as the two I kept for myself show no signs of losing their heads. One has a ball bearing in one end- nice for dimpling etc.
    The first picture shows the first one made then I pimped them up a bit.
    I give them to customers (sometimes)...
