2-oz Brass Hammer
Unless you've worked as a machinist or in some other trade requiring precision, you might not realize the importance of a brass hammer. Brass won't (normally) damage steel or iron, so we use these for lots of different things in the workshop. We provide them for use in the workshop and have them available for purchase if you would like to have one of your own.
