You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.

You mean for scoring brick to break it? If so, I don't think so - the
ends don't have edges at all. Bob

Looks to me like a badly damaged, well-used(used-up, in fact) chipping
hammer for welding cleanup. Most these days have metal handles welded
to them, but there are a few that still use hickory. That's one head
configuration, there are others.

Definitely a chipping hammer gone to heaven. I prefer the straight chisel
in the upper pic myself.

Thanks, guys. I'd never seen a chipping hammer other than the
steel-handle-with-brush. And the condition of this one would never
suggest its use to chip!!

It got me thinking about how handy a better chipping hammer might be.
maybe reshape this one, or fashion one from another hammer. I'm
thinking that something that was more of a pick would work well.

Light stone or brick chipper. Maybe slate tile chipper (on the roof).

Looks like an old and very well used "slag hammer" or "chipping
hammer" used for arc welding.
