Where can I get a little hammer to help build my Lego sets?
If you need a hammer to build Lego, it feels like you're doing something
wrong. 🤔
Some might not be able to push down on the bricks as much. To the op, a small
rubber mallet might help but I’ve honestly got no idea
Tanya I am going to assume for a moment you have a disability with your hands,
or some kind of motor type syndrome.
If I am wrong I apologize in advance, the other people answering this have not
had the same level of exposure to disabilities as I have.
I will give these examples of what I have seen others do including children at
the ACH as TLG is also a massive supporter of various gifts to children across
Canada who have been admitted to hospital for various reasons.
1. I have seen a child missing several fingers on each hand and the remaining
digits not fully functional. She loved lego and she could not push the pieces
together. We had a thin leather glove made for her hands that wrapped down the
side of her hand on the "pinky finger side". She was able to build her
lego by using 1 digit on one hand and a crazy kiddie karate chop with the glove
hand.
2. Another child had fine touch issues after a horrible animal attack, we made
her a wooden board with some pegs in it so he could push various blocks around
the board and assemble them that way using the edges of the wooden box and pegs
etc.
Think outside the box and if you want more ideas please send me a personal message
and I will discuss. The above example is one of many but my the reasons of the
privacy of others this is a public forum and I don't wish to discuss such
things in a public forum.
For the rest of you community users that gave dumb answers, give your head a
shake.

I was thinking more so in terms of the force of pushing down on the bricks such
as putting a 2x4 brick on another 2x4 brick. I know some who struggle with the
pushing down force a little and I’ve seen some the professional lego statue builders
use a small rubber mallet to connect the studs so it might help

And since the title of post was asking for a hammer, so the options are pretty
limited to a plastic hammer, which wouldn’t work for lego as it’s a kids toy,
a metal hammer, which wouldn’t work as it would damage the lego, or a mallet
which would work if you get one that isn’t to tough

Yes but no.
OP could have said having some difficulties, without shame, as it's not always
easy to read between the lines - especially of short message.
Others could have guessed, of course. But I'm sure they would have replied
with more respect if they had understood.
Communication's difficult.
We're here all to learn each others and talk to each others, whatever our
differences.
But in public: it'll make us all learn and improve.

Yes well you 2 guys homed in on the topic. It's not uncommon for someone
being somewhat apprehensive to be explicit.
But then again most of you probably don't spend as much time around people
with disabilities as I do. I love doing lego with the kiddies, or giving a set
to a childs parents who cant afford one and the pure joy lego gives to that family
is better than any thankyou you could recieve. trust me on that, you just smile
and walk away.

Hi there I believe this is the same hammer that some on the contestants on LEGO
Masters use Cousin 23703 Craft and Jewellery Mallet 8 Inch https://www.ebay.com/itm/276657068656

Careful, you know what's said about relying on only having a hammer
I've very fond memories of a night (and morning) in Lillehammer,
Norway, from my younger days But I digress...
Seriously, there are so many options for this purpose. Think I’d make my own
custom LEGO tool to use as such. Perhaps start with something with the size,
shape and weight most suitable and to my liking, to then pad it with any durable
material softer than ABS. For example TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane),
Nylon, or Polypropylene, the list goes on.
Sounds like a fun and potentially rewarding project for any product engineer/designer
in filling a demand. Useful to any physically challenged, of any age.
