As a pipe smoker myself, you won't be hammering with the tamper. Unless you are hammering flower petals or feathers or perhaps boiled potatoes.
I meant to post this when it was live but was lazy and so I waited 3 months.Don't know why I remembered it now but....If you want a small 1.5-2oz "hammer" for edc try a "Thompson Center Wedge Puller".Have 2 for my muzzle loaders and basically they have a hammer face, mini pry bar, and nipple wrench as a OPT. Cant see using one for anything serious but it could have saved the finish on my LM a few times while making adjustments to things. And its quicker than finding a loose brick.Yes I've done both. Might have to move one to my EDC(Image removed from quote.)
