> List   -  I've used the Hale hammer (lever), heads and tips for umpteen 
> years.  Needing to replace a couple of tips and since Hale is not longer 
> in business, I ordered from Schaff.   The Schaff tips fit the threads on 
> the hammer O.K., but the tip doesn't fit the pins as well as the Hale 
> tips did.   The Schaff tip seems to fit well on the pin at the very end 
> of the tip, but there seems an extreme amount in and out play (on an 
> upright) on the end of the hammer.   On a twelve inch hammer length, the 
> end of the hammer will move in/out 1 1/2 to 2 inches.   The Hale tips 
> let the hammer end move less than 1/2 inch.

> Do any of you have a recommendation for another place to find tips which 
> provide a better fit with the pin?
