Taylor Percussion Hammer - Chrome by MDF Instruments Direct, Vitamin - 1 Ea

Amazon Price: $25.18 (as of 05/31/2012)

A neuro hammer is a gift that has been recommended by med students for those looking for a memorable and useful gift. You may have thought about buying a stethoscope, but remember a stethoscope may end up not being good enough, or not being the kind they prefer. There is a lot of individual preference as to what kind of stethoscope to use. However, a neuro hammer has the same symbolism but is much more likely to be used for many years to come.
