Overview
C.S. Osborne makes this number 222 hammer with a split alloy steel head and a hickory wood handle. The magnet in the head holds a tack before it is driven.
A magnet on a light head lets one hand place and tap a tack, which is the reason to choose it over a general hammer. The limitation is detail: the face size, magnet strength and length are not shown.
Who it's for
Upholstery and craft users who place small tacks all day will use the magnet and the light head. Carpenters driving nails need a heavier hammer with a larger face.

Performance notes
The magnet holds the tack against the face so the hand can strike without a separate hold. The split head gives two working ends, and the hickory handle absorbs some shock. The light head favors control over driving force.
