Wile plane hammer by Veritas. Making fine adjustments to plane-blade position is easier with the right tool, and few can compare to the finely made plane hammers of Richard Wile, a hobbyist woodworker from Nova Scotia.

Based on Wile's design, this hammer is machined by Veritas to have the same elegant proportions as the original, giving it a weight and balance that feel right in the hand. The small brass head, only 5/8" in diameter and weighing 3 oz, allows precise, delicate adjustments to the blade. The torrefied maple end flares out to a 13/16" diameter face to distribute the force of strikes. This face is slightly belled with rounded edges to help avoid marring your plane. The handle, also torrefied maple, is 10-7/8" long.
A tool that is as pleasing in the hand as it is to the eye, and an excellent fine hammer with many uses around the shop.
