Thanks, Bill- I hadn't seen this hammer before. Looks like a beauty, cheap too.
It would be useful for texturing a surface. I'm tempted to buy one to try it!

I still think that a hammer and punch would be more effective than the pneumatic
hammer for removing bulk material despite the pneumatic hammer's fast action.

I say this because it is easier to adjust the angle of the tool to suit the
amount of stone to be taken off, working under flakes and between crystals. A
pneumatic chisel fights against the compressive strength of the stone.
