What do people mean by an engineer's hammer? I just bought a really
cute hammer yesterday (yes, I used the C word. I have no use for the
hammer but I like the look of it on my desk). Its got a really curvy
wooden handle and a small head, large and flat on one side, small ball
on the other. Shiny steel. I searched Google images and found that
engineer's hammers look completely different so perhpas the shop owner
isnt sure himself.


Could it be a jeweler's chasing hammer like this, but with a larger
flat head? Thin and flexible handle at the head, thick at the held end
with a teardrop shape? I've always been fascinated by the way those
look, too. http://www.jewelrysupply.com/noframes/hammers.htm HA223


PS Whats this Dale Carnegie crap that overtook the forum? Can someone
sift it out?


We all do, daily.
