Ferro Hammer - Hard Rubber Hammer for the Leatherman Skeletool

Ferro Hammer with removable ferrocerium rod, or standard solid Hard Rubber Hammer

The Ferro Hammer has a space for an included ferrocerium rod for starting fires.

The Standard Hammer is solid and does not have the storage hole for the ferrocerium rod.

Both hammer options are equally durable and capable. The ferro rod does not compromise the hammer function whatsoever.

This hammer is printed in the perfect material for a Skeletool. I use a very hard TPU, which is a rubber like material which is chemical, abrasion, and impact resistant. It is soft enough to flex a little, but you can hit it hard on concrete or a hard metal edge, and while it may leave a slight scuff, it will not deform or distort. You can smash it as hard as you want with pliers and it will return to it's natural shape, with just a couple of lines where the edges of the pliers were. While it isn't actually 100% indestructable, it is a very impressive material.

It will not damage other surfaces. Sometimes you need to tap things apart without damaging them, such as removing a throttle body or a carburetor for example. You would not want to hit something like that with a piece of metal.

It weighs virtually nothing at only 1.4 grams, and it's easy to install with no special tools or hardware. Simply press it into the Leatherman and line up the small holes. Then take a piece of standard 3D printer filament (I include one cut to length, plus some spare) and press it through both holes using a flat tool - I use the end of my bit driver extender. It will snap into place (don't stab your fingers on the other side), and if there is any excess sticking out, simply trim with a pair of flush cutters, or a sharp knife - being careful not to scratch your Skeletool.

Due to the tension on the filament, it will not come out on it's own. If you want to remove it, simply use a thin nail, or a punch of some sort, and push it out from one side or the other.

I use a special printing mode to give the surface a slight bumpy texture, which adds grip, in addition to breaking up the light reflection and hiding any print lines.

These pieces are designed by myself, and 3D printed in TPU on my FDM printer.
