Thread: handle loose

Question: If I have a razor with scales, put together with pins and its a bit loose, can it be tightened up by hitting the pin with a ball peen hammer?

Well tapping more than hitting, but you might find a big hammer is a touch on the heavy side, you want something more like a craft hammer, or even a spoon

I use a 4oz ball peen hammer on pins. Remember that you want to use light taps. Using too much pressure can crack the scales.

So my small sledge might be too much?

Thank for the help guys.
