You can even make your own. My father has had molds for lead hammer heads of
a couple of sizes for years now. After a couple of years use on knock-offs,
the hammer head resembles one of those large ciruclar candles whose sides peal
off. The lead is re-melted and re-cast and we now have a new lead hammer.
BTW, out of curiosity, between brass and copper, which is softer?
