    Don’t let its small size fool you.

    At approximately 12 oz., the C.S. Osborne #1999 has enough mass to perform real leatherworking jobs while remaining easy to control.

    Its compact shape also makes it convenient for getting inside footwear and working around areas where a larger shoemaking hammer can be awkward.

    The polished working face helps reduce unnecessary marking when working on leather, while its durable metal construction makes it a dependable tool for the shoemaking bench.

    A traditional shoemaking hammer is excellent for lasting, sole work, and general construction, but a smaller fitters hammer gives the shoemaker another level of control.

    The C.S. Osborne #1999 is particularly useful when you need to flatten a seam, smooth a small section of leather, or work inside and around a shoe where a long-handled hammer gets in the way.

    It is one of those simple specialty tools that quickly earns a permanent place on the shoemaking bench.

    Whether you are making your first pair of shoes, repairing boots, or working professionally with leather, the C.S. Osborne #1999 Fitters Hammer is a compact and dependable tool for precision leatherwork.
