I'm trying to upgrade the way I pack my hammer, a Plumb 24oz brick hammer. Right now I use the hammer holster off my carpenter's belt. I don't have them right here so I will borrow pics from marketers (see end of post). One option is to find a full sized sheath like maybe the Estwing 23 and another is to do what I am already doing, just with a cover on the chisel end, So I have two questions......
(1) If you use a full sized sheath, and you're regularly reaching for your hammer, do you keep the flap snapped down, or will the hammer ride ok with the flap loose?
(2) Do you know of products or DIY designs for some sort of guard for the chisel end? It needs to be super secure when the tool is bouncing on my hip and super easy to remove when I want to pry at something.
Either option needs to remain on the tool when its packed away in storage.
Thanks
I have this hammer
and right now use a hammer holster similar to this (the claw hammer stays home)
