Posted By Bruce Wayne I don't think the use of hammers would be of sufficient frequency of blow rate to be be a vibration hazard. It is more a shock mainly affecting the wrist. RSI or carpel-tunnel complaints tend to be the type of injuries with a progressive loss of grip over a longer period of use. (or a bl***y sore thumb if aim is wrong) Bruce
