Melw45 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 While I was buying my post vise the lady that ran the lot tossed in a loose hammer head. I took some photos of it a the marks on it. The taper to the striking face makes me think it is not a sledge. Have a look at the photos. Any info about it and advise about uses for it would be appreciated. Handle advise would be a help as well. Thanks for looking. Mel W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackdawg Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Sort of looks like the ones used for dog spikes, but the taper isn't quite long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gote Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 My guess is that it is a stone mason's hammer/sledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I have a single jack of about 3lbs. with a similar head but don't know of a specific reason for the profile. I put it on a drill hammer length handle and it is nice for reaching into deeper spots. Otherwise it's a nice sized lb. single jack hammer. I take it the 8 on yours indicates 8lbs. or heaven's forbid 8kg. Double jacks in either case. Nice looking hammer head. Frosty the Lucky.
