Bang, Bang Rufus' Dead Blow Hammer

An update to my last post:

I splurged and bought a nice dead blow hammer. For this sort of work, I think you need to Go Big. A 3# hammer is a nice compromise between getting the job done and irritating my tender shoulder.

And the E-Bay vendor I bought the brake I found inadequate refunded my money. Life is good, my trust in Human Nature still largely intact.
