• These drifts are the ideal size for making 1 to 5 pound hand-hammers. 
• They are forged from new 4140 tool steel. Due to the nature of drifting hammer-eyes the drift will get very hot during use, so drifts are forged from tool steel but are not heat-treated. 
• This drift is used to shape and support the eye during forging, after the hammer eye has already been punched. 
• The drift is made to be hand-held while driving it into the hammer eye. The handle portion is about 1-inch in diameter and has a faceted round cross section. This allows it to be easily and comfortably gripped during use. The overall length is approximately 11 inches!
• The handle of the drift may be cooled in water during use, however, the working end should never be quenched. When I use hand-held drifts, I usually keep a small metal bucket of water by my work station. While my hammer billet is heating up, I keep the handle of the drift in the water and the working end out of the water in the air. This keeps the handle at a comfortable working temperature. 
• This drift can be used for single taper eyes like tomahawks as well as double taper eyes like small axes, and hammers.
