so i can use a 20 oz. framing hammer's claws?
or a bic pen ink tube? not the body of the pen, but the ink tube inside.... sans ink, of course...
a buddy used a trojan still in the package once...
sorry... couldn't resist....

or a folded up business card works well. use a couple zip ties or twist ties to hold it in place during shipping.
