At that time a couple of techs reported success with, and recom- mended using, CA glue. Many other techs recommended a variety of other ap- proaches. The posts will all be in the archives. If a few of the hammers are gone, you can bet that the rest are "thinking" about going and even- tually will. Replacement of the whole set is the best way to go. Should you choose, or be forced to do a piecemeal, as needed repair job, it's a good idea to clearly mark on your receipt, and perhaps on the hammers themselves, WHICH ONES YOU REGLUED. If not, when some of the others start to let go, you're sure to get a call from the customer telling you that the hammers you reglued have "come unglued AGAIN!" In other words, when doing a bandaid-type repair, always CYA. Les Smith lessmith@buffnet.net
