C.S. Osborne No. 36 Nylon-Tip Magnetic Tack Hammer
When to choose it
Choose the No. 36 when the face that finishes the strike needs a softer contact. Osborne fits a nylon tip to the large 7/16-inch face and uses the narrower ¼-inch magnetic end to position a compatible tack. The hickory handle carries a six-ounce head.
Compare the No. 33 if you want a steel driving face. Both tools have the same published complete weight, so the choice is chiefly about which surface meets the fastener and how the weight is distributed. Osborne lists a replacement nylon tip for the No. 36.
