Whether you're fitting a new rear sight, installing dovetail components, or performing detailed gunsmithing work, the Lyman Tapper Hammer with interchangeable heads is built to handle controlled striking without marring your gun's finish or parts. This 10 oz hammer gives you three head options in one tool—brass for soft-strike work on metal, nylon for delicate components, and steel for jobs requiring more force—so you can tackle everything from sight adjustment to pin driving without buying three separate hammers.
The real genius here is the integrated brass drift punch that lives inside the handle. No more hunting for your punch or cluttering your workbench with loose tools. The knurled brass handle gives you solid grip control during those precise, deliberate strikes that gunsmithing demands. If you're setting up a basic gunsmithing kit, upgrading from improvised tools, or just need a hammer that won't trash your firearms, this one earns its place in your toolbox.
Built by Lyman—a name trusted by reloaders and gunsmiths for decades—this tapper is made to take the guesswork and risk out of controlled-impact gunsmithing. The interchangeable head system means you're never stuck choosing between too soft and too aggressive; you just swap the right head for the job.

| Weight | 10 oz |
| Head Options | Brass, Nylon, Steel (interchangeable) |
| Handle Material | Brass (knurled) |
| Included Accessories | Integrated brass drift punch |
The brass head delivers soft, non-marring strikes ideal for finished metal surfaces and precision work. Nylon is gentler still, designed for delicate parts where you need minimal impact force. Steel provides durability for tougher jobs requiring more striking force. Start with brass for most gunsmithing; upgrade to nylon if you're worried about finish damage, or switch to steel when you need heavier work.
The brass drift punch is integrated into the handle for convenient storage and quick access. You don't have to search for a separate tool or manage loose components on your bench.
The Lyman Tapper Hammer excels at driving pins, drifting sights, adjusting components, and any gunsmithing application where you need controlled, non-destructive impact. It's particularly useful for sight installation and removal work.
This tool works well for both. The interchangeable heads and integrated design make it straightforward for someone tackling basic gunsmithing tasks at home, while experienced gunsmiths appreciate its quality and versatility in a professional shop setting.
