Default Must-have tool.

On Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:21:36 -0700 (PDT), the infamous Jay Pique
scrawled the following:

So this week I installed some cabinets in a new restaurant in
Rochester and somehow or another my favorite hammer disappeared. It's
a small Craftsman brand hammer with a red rubber head on one side and
a yellow plastic head on the other. It sits in the hamer loop of my
Carhartt pants all day every day while I'm in the shop and I guess I
didn't realize just how much I used it. It's perfect for tapping
parts into alignment and I absolutely can't live without it now. So I
sprung for the additional $10 and got myself another. Peace has been
restored in my universe. Just thought I'd mention it because it's
such a handy tool and I'd recommend it to any woodworker.


I found myself without the correct density of rubber hammer for a job
and sprung for a real live Nupla with 4 different screw-on heads and a
fiberglass handle. Very nice.
