C.S. Osborne No. 222 Split-Head Magnetic Tack Hammer
When to choose it
Choose the No. 222 when you want a polished steel split head and a broader driving face for tacks. The magnetic face measures 5/16 inch and the larger face is 9/16 inch. Compare how those two surfaces will sit near the edges or trim on your piece.
The seven-ounce head weighs the same as the head on Osborne’s No. 33, but the No. 222 has larger faces and a higher listed total weight. If the driving face needs to be nylon, compare the No. 36 instead and check its smaller face before buying.
