Mini hammer, not so mini capabilities

Pros
Lightweight
Low-profile
Easy to attach
Adds weight to the head of the tool for more effective swings
Familiarity
I’ve used it a few of times

This hammer is a fantastic addition to my set of 2017 Nomics. It is realtively lightweight and low-profile, so you hardly notice it's there, but it is a very handy piece of kit to have.

It also gives your swings just a little more oomph, meaning picks set quicker and easier (at least this has been my expeience). Having the ability to pound in an old piton or hex is a nice plus, especially on mixed lines. I wouldn't want to hammer a piton in all the way, but I suppose you could do that with one of these.
