What a great find!
That looks like the electric claw hammer which is more for woodworking. I have the ball peen one but the safety certificate has expired and the leather holster has developed a slight touch of mildew.
I had a matching pair of hens legs, but they seem to have run off.

Coo! Its just like Ebay used to be before they got all serious and up themselves.

I had one of these electric hammers, got burnt in the fire, now I've only got the head but I'm still looking for the rest of it. If memory serves, although this is the claw version, primarily to be used in carpentry, it can, at a pinch, be used to hit most things.

I did have a tin of elbow grease, a sky hook and a skirting ladder, but Gawd knows where they are now.

Vendor says it has been PAT checked but predates elf and safety laws.

(did you read the Q&A)

a Pat wont test it properly it needs a really good whack to make sure its realy doing its stuff,

no Steve
i havent read the Q&A's yet

It should probably be given a drop test.
Even if manufactured after the health and safety requirement, the handle should be certified as fire resistant.

[handyman]

Yea, but has it got a CE certificate to show its EU compliant so it can be used in foreign parts? Or was that on? That plug top is definitely not to BS 1363!

Pat must be a busy bloke. he seems to test and check an awful lot of stuff...
