Dale - I thought I asked you not to tell anyone ! <g> This is an interesting tool for those who frequently remove hammers. Due to the unique compound action, a tremendous amount of controlled force can be applied. Glue collars are not an issue here. The photo shows how the pliers crunch right through an upright hammer molding and press out the shank. Grand hammers virtually slide off their shanks. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
