<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Over the years I've accumulated complete sets and
samples of all venders hammers. Having various samples available
for testing can be helpful, but I've found that there can be a
noticeable difference from the various "felt runs" within a
manufacturers model of hammer. Be prepared to expect different results from
your samples and the complete set you ultimately use. Your best bet is
to have a complete set available within your parameters and use it for
the job.</FONT></DIV>

selection of sampling hammers. I have most of whats out there but I'd
