Specialty Hammer

  • Flat face — sets a lock
  • Chisel peen — dresses a seam

A setting hammer that pulls double duty: square flat face to set a lock, chisel peen to open and dress a seam. Heavy enough to set it, light enough you're not wrecked by lunch.

Duct Sizer: a folding frame gauge that captures a rectangular duct opening.
Concept · InteractivePlate III

  • Rectangular — up to 48″
  • Reads to 1/16″

A pocketable frame gauge that springs open to capture any rectangular duct opening up to 48″, reads it digitally to 1/16″, then folds back into your pouch.
