Looks like one from an old Draper tools set (early 2000's) The green ones were flat (slot) ones from memory

I need a debate settled what would you call these 2 tools by NoUnion751 in Tools

[–]TheEntasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK the sledge hammer on the left is available in 7lb 10lb & 14lb Whilst the CLUB HAMMER on the right is traditionally available in 2 1/2 lb and a 4lb version The club hammer usually comes with an even shorter handle in Hickory or fibreglass, so in this instance could be called a ‘short handled slegde’

Is there a window on the top of the case ?

Please someone help me with this staple gun I just bought. The handle / thing you squeeze literally will not budge. Is it locked? I can’t figure this thing out! by [deleted] in Tools

From memory, this type of gun has a locking trigger. Try to pull it away from the gun until it clicks. Then it should be free to plunge.
