Perfectly balanced SMALL hammer

I teach practical math to high school students with learning disabilities. What does this have to do with Ball Pein Jeweler's Hammer, you might be wondering. Well, we study geometry and make figures out of cork wood. I generally like my students to know how to fit pieces of their projects together perfectly and connect them with dowels or joints, but sometimes we have to use wire clips. A heavy regular hammer wouldn't do the job so I settled on this jeweler's hammer and it turned out to be an excellent choice. It cannot "break" wire rods or bump into balsa wood and break it. This is also good because my students have reduced arm strength and a traditional hammer would be too heavy and cumbersome for them. This hammer forced them to develop some fine motor skills to hold it properly, but it was worth it because they gained additional skills. It's perfect for the job and helps finish our projects just right. Once the wire rod is in place we use another wire rod and this hammer to sink the first one and then cover it with plastic wood so the nails aren't showing. It also took some practice, sinking, and my students don't end up banging their hands with regular hammers that would really hurt them. It might not be what you would buy it for, but it's a perfectly balanced little hammer that even the physically challenged can wield. This is a great tool no matter what purpose you buy it for.

Pros
  • BOL SIDE: BOL SIDE can create texture. Charm hammers and accessories for a distressed look!
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
