I've never found that to be much of a danger. It's framing hammers that I find to be a problem - I much prefer "Planus digititis" to "Wafflus digitis".Sunbeem wrote:To be held in both hands, to avoid "Planus digititis".

I thought the hammer was the only tool in the Harley toolkit?dougie wrote: It's all quite straight forward to me -
That is probably a shoemaker's hammer,
the nuts are for a slingshot,
the visegrips for working on a Harley,
and the large block is for turning off Fox News.

3 sizes of Visegrips, and the hammer is a ballpean.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

With apologies to GSPD, in English-speaking Canada, we refer to a hammer as a "french screwdriver"

I've got me one of those hammers and a pretty big flat steel plate. The small end on mine does not come to a point. I use it quite a bit. Never used it inside my carburetor, though.
