Stealth Pilot quickly quoth:


I have two of these little hammers which I find the most used and
useful of all the hammers in my workshop. one must be 90 years old.

I've been looking all over to get anothe, or another few, but am only
seeing ball pein hammers down to 8oz.

price of chinese progress?? are they still available?

Everywhere. http://tinyurl.com/5ewlfr
Stanley, Searz, Vaughn/Bushnell have 'em in steel.
Widget Supply has 'em in brass.
etc.

I picked up a nice little Warrington hammer at Lee Valley a few years
ago. I use it to adjust my wooden plane blades. (No, Tawm, they're
steel blades which fit into wooden planes.)
