Overview
A worker who sets and drives small tacks gets a hammer with a magnetic face to hold each tack and a driving face to finish it. The head is polished forged steel on a hickory handle.
The magnetic face frees a hand when starting a tack, and a contoured grip eases repeated use. The included components field reads like another brand and part number, and the color field says white.
Who it's for
A person who sets tacks in small jobs, like trim and fabric work, will find the magnetic face useful. Framers and anyone driving nails should use a heavier hammer.
Pros and cons
- Magnetic tack-holding face
- Separate driving face
- Polished forged steel head
- Light head, tacks only
- Dimension fields unclear
- Included components field mismatched
Performance notes
The magnet holds the tack upright so it can be started with one hand, and the second face then drives it in. A light head limits the force of a strike, which suits small tacks and avoids bending them.
