hammer shanks

[Kevin E. Ramsey]

    Wally sells these this way because they are just as strong when
positioned toward the string ( the only way you can use them), and they are
lighter, reducing inertia. An over-all win-win situation. Go ahead and use
them, I think that you'll be happy with the result.
