Grace USA‘s 8-ounce Brass Hammer (brand part no. BH-8) splits the difference between the brand’s lighter and heavier brass hammers, giving a gunsmith enough mass to drift pins and disassemble actions without the risk of marring parts that a steel hammer carries. The head is hand-turned from CDA 360 brass rod, extruded at a domestic mill, and hand polished, with a hickory handle pressed in and brass pinned for a secure fit. It’s hand assembled in the United States. Overall length runs 10.85 inches.
