I use a 200z stanley claw hammer, you will definately need the claw to pull nails out of the ply when stripping... the system toffee hammers are very ltd...

In awkward places with the system, we nail 3/4 ply down between the boards and small gaps,hence the nails.... in fact they nail every fukin thing down...lol...right ******* to strip.lol.. does get windy here though...

looks agood idea... were we fill awkward gaps with boards, they nail 3/4 down here, seems to work well,, I'd lay boards down like we do in the UK, but if they want ply down then thats what I do.. It doess get very windy here though and we are right next to the ocean, it blows like **** some days...
I use my system hammer here in Alberta, don't use any wood on here as it's a live plant so I've no need for a claw. Canadians took the pi$$ for a bit, I took it in good humour and waited because I knew my time would come. Watched a couple of them whacking feck out of a ledger trying to get it to sit in the rosette for about 10 minutes one night, then just walked over, podged it in and walked away without a word................

no bigger than the normal eastwing type,short and stubby by far the best layher hammer,it never was in the frog too long to be lugged about anyway pmax.
This man speaks the truth, preferably with the blue rubber handle as opposed to the leather version ( slippery ).
With Layher the claw of the hammer is well useful for levering tight ledgers in at the rosette as opposed to damaging the material with brute force.
I used a lathammer back in Holland I tried to find it here in Canada but no such luck I guess they aren't allowed to sell them. The reason I want it again is because they are so damn usefull you can pop nails hammers nails you can pop in ledgers that are tight (put the longer claw into a hole and use it as a lever). Yeah i know you can do that with a ratchet wrench or a podger which we don't use here and I am smarted then a ledger so I use a hammer for this gotta use it anyways to whack the pin in. And if a wooden plank is too far away you reach it again with the longer claw and gently whack it and pull it towards you.
Listen, do have the name (brand) of this hammer, I really like it...I used a lathammer back in Holland I tried to find it here in Canada but no such luck I guess they aren't allowed to sell them.
