New Tools - mishung hammers

[Brian Lawson]

In the vein of the "what I learnt at Arlington" thread and in a shameless
plug for Roger & Gina's class the Renner tool which Roger demostrated showed
how he just takes off hammers very quickly and easily with it. The specific
name for the tool eudes me, but I'm sure Roger will come in with it.
