---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Jim I completely agree staple are a sales gimmick of the past. If the glue f= ails the tone probably will too with or without the staple. Have recently= replaced a set of Isaac hammers with staples. The glue joints in the bas= s failed and the staples helped ?.NOT!!!!! Looked like a blow out on the = freeway. No dispersion on the product intended as every hammer maker can = have glue failures. Glue is fickle after all especially the polyurethane = varieties which don't do well in low humidity conditions.

But I am sure there are differing opinions. :-) Jim Bryant (FL) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
