Guest phantom8 Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 I've been told that I should get this instead of the tomahawk kind. I see that there are different kinds -- telescoping ones, ones in which the rubber head can be adjusted and removed, etc. Anyway, does anyone have any tips about purchasing a Babinski hammer? Thanks!

Guest Lactic Folly Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 *sniff* All these posts gone.. I remember there were quite a few anecdotes about portable/unportable/breaking hammers, but can't remember the content.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satsuma Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi Darla, The problem with the long plastic babinski's is that they are awkward to carry around in your pocket and also they tend to break. I bought a stainless steel one, it is short and the "head":confused: part...the part you hit with, can be removed and screwed on so that it is flat with the handle. So it is easier to carry around. And won't break. I got it last year at the equipment sale at school. So I would guess you can get it through shoppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darla Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks Satsuma! That's really good to know. And just in time, the equipment sale is today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up doc Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Just to let you know, the metal telescoping ones also tend to break and quite quickly in some cases, they are easier to tote around so I'd still recommend them, but I know of more than a couple of people in my class so far that have disabled them!
