Buena calidad. Buen peso. Muy comodo de tomar. Tal vez el mango puede rayarse pero por el momento me gusta. Tamaño adecuado. No se resbala al tomarlo. Buena relación precio-calidad. Recomendado! (Es igual a la fotografia y la descripción detallada)

Solid reflex hammer. First day of neurology clerkship, my resident glanced around at each med student's hammer. Several had the red "tomahawk" type — "ah, not a good choice..." One had a short queen square — "those are good but yours is way too short; it's not going to be that useful." Coming to rest on my hammer, the resident smiled and gave me a thumbs up. "You came prepared!" Turns out she used the same hammer.I don't have anything to complain about here. It has enough weight to elicit reflexes without much work, the head is solid, and if you're the sort to do Babinskis with the bottom of your hammer, this will do the trick for that too. I almost never used the small hammer point. It's there if you want to directly hit a thin tendon, but I was taught to just place a finger on the target and use the large point to hit the finger instead. It transmits perfectly.Some may prefer queen square hammers, which have big bumpers for hammer points. Many of the attending neurologists seemed to favor those, but as I mentioned above, almost all the residents (including graduating seniors and fellows) had this type. Whatever floats your boat.If you do like this variety, the MDF is a great choice at a fair price. I'll note that mine has been used for only about a month so far, so it's possible something will suddenly come loose or break. But that doesn't look likely. Highly recommended.

Bought this to replace a babinski style that was just WAY too hard to be hitting my fingers with for biceps reflex. The tips are much softer so they do not hurt when hitting my thumb, or even the brachioradialis against the radius. It is well balanced with a flexible handle. I was worried it would be too flexible and would have to upgrade to the metal handle but so far this has not been the case since the hammer really does all the work. It comes with a brush in the handle for light touch sensation. I don't know if I will use this unless it's in a pinch and I can't find a paper clip or tongue depressor. The bush also has a cowl that makes a little rattling sound in the handle. It doesn't bother me, I stopped noticing it after a couple hits, but if little sounds bother you you could always tape the cowl over the brush. The "babinski point" is not as sharp as my previous hammer (that one was basically a nail), however I am apprehensive to use it, I don't think it is sharp enough to break the skin, but it is more sharp than most other hammers I've used. It is longer than most Taylor hammers or my previous collapsible babinski so it does stick out of the white coat pocket a bit. It stays put though because the head is weighted so nicely, just be careful bending over, you'll stab yourself in the abdomen with the point.Overall: well weighted, hammer, effective for eliciting every reflex, definitely the best reflex hammer I've used so far in my short career.PAS-1As a side note, If you screw the point hiding the brush on too tightly it becomes VERY difficult to get out, thus eliminating the idea you could use the brush in a pinch unless you happen to carry a pair of pliers with you as well.

As a resident who will be going into neurology, this hammer was a great buy and totally changed my life (or at least my neurology exam skills). Seriously.In my pre-Tromner days I used to carry around a Tomahawk. I was then told by my attending, an neurologist, "Don't ever use a tomahawk on people. Only babies." Needless to say, this person wasn't a pediatric neurologist, but the message was clear - get a new hammer. So, a half hour and 19 dollars later, I purchased this one, and once I got it in the mail, my Tomahawk hasn't seen the light of day (except for when examining newborns).As far as muscle tendon reflexes go, this hammer rocks. The weight in the head really makes it much easier to elicit reflexes. This mixed with my distraction skills has made me able to get reflexes on a lot of (neurologically healthy) people who tell me, "Everytime I go to the doctor they can never get reflexes on me" as I'm tapping their patellar tendon and then bam...muscle contraction! Forget having to use that two fingered technique and 'swinging' the tomahawk...this one's substantial enough that you just need to hold it, and let the weight of the metal head do the work.I have the black handle model, which has the nifty little brush if you unscrew the metal tip (which isn't as sharp as it appears). I occasionally use the brush for checking light touch although it's probably the least useful part of the hammer (but there for those rare times you need to check light touch more formally or are trying to test a very small area like the hand). For Babinski's you're still probably better off using the traditional Tomahawk handle tip, to be fair. I don't think the tip is too sharp to be used for it, it's just a wider, blunter tip and doesn't work as well for eliciting a Babinski. However, in all other ways this reflex hammer is much easier to use than the little tomahawk one. Just carrying it makes you feel more like a serious neurologist.I didn't buy it for looks but I'm frequently told that "it looks very expensive". It's my nerdy version of a nice watch. But in all seriousness, this is one of my most utilized tools in my neurology kit. Well worth it!
