Traditionally paired with classic leathercraft tool sets, it is especially well-suited for tools that benefit from a cushioned strike, including metal stamps, punches, and setters. It offers a balanced combination of weight and durability to reduce hand fatigue during extended work sessions while maintaining effective striking power.
