Is it Possible that one would want a hammer as hard as steel that was non
magnetic?
so maybe hardened copper or Brass would come close?
I can imagine such a scenario. A beryllium copper hammer might be a nice
addition to a well equipped toolbox, but for common use, it's a serious
mistake to have such a hammer available, especially if its the only *soft*
hammer. Far too many people ignore the fact that copper alloys work
harden and can do serious damage to finished projects, therefore are
inclined to pick up a brass or copper hammer, thinking they're soft. Not
only are they rarely soft enough to provide the necessary protection, but
they also streak off, leaving unsightly smears in the dents they leave
behind. Plastic (Nupla) hammers don't do that, and they rarely fail to
provide the necessary blows needed for most applications. Making one from
brass, with the proper inserts for the application, insures that they do.
So, who sells Nupla holders and greenies at a discount.
They're NOT cheap, are they? Travers gets $25.04 + $6.10
for each tip. SPS-155 holder + 2ea 15T tips + shipping =
over $40 for a hammah? Ouch!
