Impact hammers was RE: Tuning Hammers.....How Many?

[Farrell]

That's also supposed to be one of the main features of the new Reyburn 
impact lever - minimal weight (for an impact lever anyway) - supposedly 
significantly less weight than others - their deluxe model weighs 428 grams, 
15.1 ounces total weight,  and has USA/Japan tuning thread/tip (titanium 
alloy shank and head, stainless steel extension, bronze weight).
