Just spend the money and get a Lixie. Comes with a wood handle that is
grooved in the grip are. Don't like fibreglass handles, too springy. And
those one-piece cast abortions? I had one once, gave it away.

What the hell's a Lixie, hippie? I already told everyone that the
Nupla
hammers are as good as they get.

Hippie? Me?

Yep! You, you old goat. When you gonna shave?

You may be too old a dog to learn anything, but...G

Who you callin' old?

They
have the Lixie in MSC BigBook. Wood handle so ya can feel what yer doin.
And shot in the head in two weight amounts for each available face
diameter. I just noticed they offer a 3 inch face with 116 and 168 ounce
head weights. Pack a punch for sure.

That's obviously for the big stuff. I like 'em smaller than that. I have
two of the Nupla variety, one is the 1" model. Great for light tapping.
If I'd get off my butt, I have a set of 2" heads, one red, one green, Nupla.
It would make a great heavy duty model. I'm too tight to buy one of the
Lixie models, but probably don't need one that heavy and large, anyway.
Thanks for the info, though. I'll have to check it out and see if they're
in my old MSC big book, circa '95/'96. I ain't bought anything for a long
time!
