Available from Kelvedon - not cheap though.

Soft hammer on spinner then blows with
lump hammer onto the soft hammer
No damage

No need for tools that cost a lot of money and are unnecessary

I usually hold a piece of wood against the spinner and then hit that with the lead hammer rather than the chromed spinner. Works fine, doesn't damage the surface, cheap and replaceable if it starts to splinter.

Jeepers, I bought one from Lionel about 21/2 years ago, and I think it was £55 - £60......
