Much like this.

And there is your answer, a multi- tool. Same principal as the old fold up tool kits that used to be carried in the leather pouch under bike seats[ i am showing my age now ], there to get you out of a jam if needed, not specialist tools . And the Germans made very good tools.I knew between us we would work it out.Reverand wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 2:45 am So, it went from being a child's toy, to being an old multitool, just like that!
I thought that it was too small to be used as a real hammer, but I studied it more as I rubbed it down with oil, and the face of the hammer has some dings fron use!
Y'all were right!
That German Crown tool works the very same way. It does look to be a bit better quality from my Japanese version, but otherwise it works exactly the same.
