Don't even bother with it. There are much better choices out there now. Peterson has a nice one, and our own Omikron has a great hammer. Check it out.

I have used and own the original Tomahawk, also used the slagcilinder.com tomahawks and have used Omikron's KEBumps. I am pretty attached to my tomahawk since I have used it so much but I really think the KEBump is the better tool.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I have both, the KEH-2 Bump Tool and the Peterson Blue bump hammer.
They are both very effective tools. The KEH-2 is much more flexible. The Peterson has a stiffer handle. It just depends on which you prefer. I get good results with either one.

You can always make your own. I don't know what country your in, so you may have too find suitable material at you local hardware store.

I should have read your profile first. I see you are in the UK, and that you're also a carpenter. You shouldn't have much trouble making one.

Nope, the KEbump Kinetic Energy Hammer is only at Mark II right now, and will probably stay that way for quite some time. ;-)

Thank you, Omikron for a fine job with the Mark II, I also want to thank you for making replacements available for those of us who broke the handle off the Mark I.
You are a man if integrity, and I for one appreciate that.

Thanks for the kind words. I consider myself a fairly ethical person and so I try to hold myself to the same standards I hold others to.

The bumpit hammer from lockpicktools.com is a bad one, the plastic hammer head spalls off pieces like concoidal fractures in glass. I was sent one way back when lpt.com was scamming me actively about their rip off of the bogota design.

When I use a bump key, I use a small handle longshaft flat screwdriver I bought at ace hardware just for bumping, I stuck a cork on the screwdriver blade and it works well. the cork is the handle for the hammer, and the plastic handle is the bumphammerhead.
