Thank you for the informative video.

I have looked so much and no one has said a thing about it loosing magnetism. For a while I was like boy this isn't any easier than a normal hammer lol. Thank you!

I have my great-grandfather's Craftsman "professional upholsterer" and it's still magnetized. He's been gone since 1966.. the year before I was born. THAT'S a good hammer!!

I just bought a tack hammer at an estate sale yesterday, and you just showed me everything I need to know about it in a few seconds with no fluff. Thank you!

Nice tidbit! I like new useful pieces of information! Thank you.

I used two block magnets, stuck them together to get the alignment.. separated them as I placed one on each side of the hammer left them over night because it was convenient. There was some improvement after just a few minutes, but didn't need to tack anything right then. Even thinking I might epoxy a small rare earth magnet into the split.. decided to epoxy the rare earth magnet to the end, over the split... it works great. I did the method in the video, and since I can't know which is north/south.. between the hammer and the stack of magnets... it totally de-magnetized the tips... I had bought 2 cheap tack hammers for figure out how to make one work well. Completely happy with the epoxy method.

The problem with your method is this: rare-earth magnets are made of nickel-played neodymium, which is extremely brittle and, with very little force, can shatter. You’ve been lucky, but with only a little use, I’m sure your magnet has already shattered. This can be very dangerous; always wear eye protection.

Thanks!

Hate the muzac, but brilliantly explanatory video, thank you!

I'll give it another try, but so far this has not worked.
