How to hammer from the inside in.
Ever needed to hit something in from the outside, but only have room for the hammer inside? This might possibly provide the answer, and you will not find it in places like Halfords (I tried them first since they were only a couple of minutes away).

I used mine for fitting wooden lock-fit flooring that needed a bit more than a light tap, and when there is a wall in the way being able to hammer TOWARDS you and away from the point being hammered is a godsend. Of course I also needed to make up a shaped wooden drift so as not to bruise the flooring, but that is trivial when one can use a hammer like this.

There is an assortment of durable and well made tips supplied for different applications. The only caveat is to make sure all the thread is used, and there is no slop when securing tip components to the main shaft.

The instructions are brief, but if you know enough to already realise you need this hammer, then you will not need any more help. The storage box is well thought out and durable, so no bits will be lost.

It paid for itself in the first hour, and has not shown any signs of wear or deterioration or damage in several long sessions of awkward and hard work, impossible with an ordinary hammer.
