Need help identifying Craftsman Hammer

[3baygarage]

Anybody know what this guy is for?

That is the infamous hammer that installs square pegs in round holes.

On a serious not, No I have no idea, but off to research it.

 

[SO/PW newbie]

Not for sure, but is it missing the red and yellow plastic/rubber ends?

 

[sselander]

It is missing the plastic/rubber endcaps.
I think you can still buy them.

You know, the thought has crossed my mind but this hammer head is way smaller than the soft tip hammer. Unless they made a mini version?
Sorry for not putting a ruler in the picture. The head is about 2-1/2" long.

All the soft tips I've seen are screwed on. Snap On/Proto/Mac/Craftsman.
Not sayin they were always that way though.

Yep, plastic face hammer. Usually they have a round boss to press the faces onto. This is the first I've seen with square.

I think you guys are right. Craftsman does have the smaller 8oz. soft hammer to go with the 12oz. I forgot about that. And maybe these style tips aren't screwed on like I thought.

Thanks for the input fellas.
