[CAUT] Re: Fujan lever

[Joseph Alkana]

I can attest to the solid feel of the Jahn hammer, having used one now for 
about 5 months. I had to go for the 15 degree angle of the adapter, as 
opposed to the 5 degree one sent with the unit originally. Two things I 
would wish for are:
1) a 10 degree adapter
2) a shorter tip to adapter length, so as to reduce the height of the pin 
contact point and the incident angle of the handle.
What would the Fujan hammer lever offer?
