My search for a 1lb Club Hammer

[sparkybird]

Can anyone help? I know they exist, but I've searched the internet and can't find any!

What do you want to use it for? Is it a metal club hammer type?

 

[sparkybird]

I need to use it with a scotching tool for chasing out for back boxes and my weedy arms find a 2lb one just too tiring! 1lb is just right! I've been using a metal headed one with wooden handle to date...

get 2lb club hammer and intoduce it to angle grinder

 

[sparkybird]

Hmmm - seems like a club hammer to crack a nut!

I don't have access to an angle grinder and I know that 1lb ones are available somewhere!

Cut it both sides for the correct balance

Have you look at the panel beater hammer for banging dents out on cars? They're normally lighter.

Errr, is that a joke?

I wouldn't have thought a rubber headed mallet would be much cop for chipping out brickwork?!

Why not just get a 16oz Ball pein.
Or sds with rotostop

No, some of them are metal which have a large head.

The another I can think when my mate used to do ceiling plasterboards for a living was a light weight plasterboard hammer, I don't know if it's still around.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. I will check out some alternative hammers - ones with shorter handles would be best - for access.

I do use SDS but for some jobs it's overkill and I like to try and be neat (maybe it's a female thing!)

what kind of chisell are you using if your using a bolster chisel try and use a thinner one not as wide.

 

[sparkybird]

I've been using what I call a scotching tool - like a mini bolster with replaceable 'teeth' about 1.5" wide. I've found bolsters OK on soft plaster, but the scotcher is better on brick.

Blimey, how sad are we discussing this!

"Scutch comb" You con get them with replaceable sharp bits.

drill a number of holes around were the back box is going then use the chisel
