Abstract
A hammer tip is provided with a centrally located bolt hole for receipt of at least one bolt for releasable securement to a hammer. The hammer tip includes a front face having a working edge, and a back with two opposing shoulder sections with a recessed section therebetween. The hammer includes a support shoulder for receipt of the bottom of the hammer tip. Together, the shoulder sections, the recess formed between, and the support shoulder create a saddle-back for releasable integration with the hammer.
