you will need to polish the ends for it to do the job properly

I like the looks of this one; any problems with the head coming loose on the handle ???

Grease the hammerhead,toss the thing in a bucket of water overnight if it becomes loose.works most of the time as a temp fix.

mine has been loose since I got it but never fell off.
Hammer heads can be re-handled easy, or one can use a small wedge to tighten the head.

Thanks for the link. I've been making do with an 8oz one that does the job, but as I like adding two pins at the wedge, things get pretty tight with the bigger hammer!

Well, in my particular case I purchased one at sears. It cost me $10 bucks and weight 4onz. It works nice and it has a nice handle.
I think this does not need to be special ( in my particular case).

Thanks

Nice! The Mjölnir of tiny hammers
