The mass of the hammer has very little to do with it. All of the energy is contained in the compressed mainspring. A lighter hammer is actually a better choice than a heavy hammer.

If the delrin hammer you are refering to is the same one I am thinking of, it is just a delrin shell with a hardened steel core for the impact. The delrin is just there to reduce the friction.

It should help, but not likely enough to make a perceptable difference. It will reduce wear in your lower tube though.

: It has to be heavy to be called a hammer. A derlin would likely not have enough mass to open the valve or the spring would be so heavy that the trigger pull would be way too hard.

: it is plastic and would not be durable to take the repeated impact against the valve stem.

: Why don't you just polish your hammer? Takes about 5 minutes and a drill. E mail me.
