C.S. Osborne No. 236 Short-Head Magnetic Tack Hammer
When to choose it
Compare the No. 236 when the place where you need to drive a tack leaves little room for a long hammer head. It uses a 3½-inch magnetic split head and weighs six ounces as a complete tool. The hickory handle gives the overall tool an 11-inch length.
The No. 222 has a 5½-inch head and a higher total weight, so compare it if you want a larger face and the work area has more clearance. For the No. 236, use the head length to estimate room near an arm or rail, then check where you can swing the handle.
