<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1404624, member: 26302"]You see them pretty regularly, the thin pointed, curved hammers in mint making scenes. I wonder if the force required if striking such a small area made the dies less likely to shatter or deform. I am simply basing that on my own experience in driving ground rods. If you used a wide flat hammer, (like a mini sledge), you deformed the top pretty severely. However, if you used a narrow hammer it may be harder to hit, but the top of the ground rod would not deform.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
