Please help with never seen before Craftsman hammer and Mystery tool

[Hovercopter]

Can anyone identify please?

I can not find any other hammer like this on internet. Why the hole?

That hammer was modified after it was sold .I'd be leary of hittin anything real hard with that.

Sorry the other looks like it for adjusting vale lash on an ohc engine

Yeah, not factory that's for sure.

Maybe they did it to make an already slim hammer even lighter.

Seen something similar with guys working at height , they put a safety line through it so if dropped it doesn't kill anyone below.. Usually loops around the back under the claw.

Its a 38063 21oz
Made by Vaughan
Its missing the replaceable steel cap striking face, they do smooth and milled faces.
The exact same face they used on the Ti Tech titanium hammer.
Not a bad nail wacker.

so the hole is for a pin of some sort..

 

[3baygarage]

Never would have guessed that. I'll eat my words.

Wow! thanks so much. So I can order a cap with no fear of it not fitting?

Yep.
Technically the hammer could be a 38062 also I guess the smooth and milled had a different number
The part no on the Craftsman smooth cap is 938068 and milled 938069

It does look like it has been used sans cap and the head is mushroomed slightly so it will probably need some grinding.

The above search of "screwdriver locknut adjusting tool" brought up images of similar functioning tools. Could be used anyplace you have a adjusting screw held in place by the locknut.
