Starrett Toolmakers Hammer with built-in magnifying lens

This is a very practical tool that is just as much at home on a
toolmaker’s bench as it is on a businessman’s desk.
Faster, easier and more accurate spotting and punching of centerlines
and intersections is now possible with the Starrett hammer for
toolmakers and diemakers.
A magnifying lens built into the head of the hammer eliminates the
usual fumbling and looking away involved when a separate glass and
hammer are used. High-power magnification makes it easy to spot the
punch and strike without once removing the eyes from the work.
The hammer is light – weighing only four ounces (113 grams) – but
it is made of a steel forging for strength and rigidity. It has a highly
attractive chromium plated finish. Both flat and ball peen heads are
hardened and are offset for use in corners or close to obstructions. The
lens is mounted in rubber for shock resistance. Handle has hole for
hanging.
The 815 Hammer is also useful as a portable gavel or paperweight, and
for light tacking, magnifying a sliver and more.
