New for 2024, Real Avid has announced the release of the Armorer’s Master Hammer, along with the Armorer’s Master Hammer and Accu-Punch Standard Pin Punch Set, a new kit with 11 pin punches.

More about the new hammer from Real Avid: “The Armorer’s Master Hammer is a fresh take on what a professional-grade gunsmithing hammer should be. Developed for optimal weight and balance, as well as exceptional ergonomics, the Armorer’s Master Hammer does it all.”

Built from forged steel and incorporating a full-length tang for maximum strength and balance, the Armorer’s Master Hammer weighs 22 ounces and is 9½-inches long, ideal for light to heavy jobs. Sporting a molded handle with ergonomic contouring and no-slip grooving to provide a solid grip, the hammer also features a modular, dual-head design with interchangeable hammer heads. Easy to swap, there is a removeable soft-blow hammer head cover, along with steel, brass, and nylon hammer heads.

In addition, integrated into the Armorer’s Master Hammer handle is a removeable, magnetic pin starter designed to fit pins from 1/16 to 7/32 inches in diameter (1.8-7.14 mm).

MSRP for the Armorer’s Master Hammer is $69.99.

Along with the Armorer’s Master Hammer, Real Avid is also offering the Armorer’s Master Hammer in kit form with the Accu-Punch Standard Pin Punch Set, which features 11 standard pin punches made of hardened steel with nickel plating. The punches’ hex-shaped handle and dual rubber O-rings offer a solid grip and control when driving pins. Packaged in a snap-close storage case with a flip-up pin holder, the included punches are sized 1/16 (two of each), 5/64, 3/32, 1/8, 9/64, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4 and 9/32 inches.

The MSRP for the Armorer’s Master Hammer and Accu-Punch 11-Piece Standard Pin Punch Set is $89.99.
